Yer fighting city hall for no good reason. I guess this is a renegade answer, but I am going to guess that the reason your plywood panel failed to begin with has to do with the method of capping off a potentially wet cavity with relatively unprotected wood and then gluing or stapling a piece of carpet to it. I hope to get the wood cut tomorrow and start on the resin/epoxy soon after.

Which of these, epoxy or polyesther resin would be best for a plywood application? Is there an "all in one" I could buy that would allow me to roll or brush it onto the ply? Would I need hardeners or activiation chemicals for either of these? It was also suggested that I apply either an epoxy or polyesther resin to the exterior plywood before screwing it down to the ribs of the boat. Just wanted to see which would be my best, and most cost effective route.Ģ. Some say I could go with exterior, others swear by marine grade at over $100 a sheet, and there's a lot of conflicting advice about pressure treated in regards to it eating aluminum, warping, and a long drying time. I was going to go with exterior grade (X) at either 3/4" or 1/2"(if it's strudy enough to hold a person up there).

What is the best kind of plywood for this application. Much of the wood is now rotten, but I was able to take out the old carpet to use as a template for the new flooring I'll be putting in this weekend.ġ. The old floor appears to be 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood with no resin or epoxy and was finished with a rubber backed marine carpet. I am in the process of replacing the front platform floor on my 17 aluminum Sea Nymph.
