[QUOTE="richg99, post: 178206, member: 4376"] Years ago, there was eXterior plywood and Interior plywood. They had different glues. I understand now that almost all plywood is made with exterior glue. Certainly, any plywood that has an X in its designation is now EXterior plywood. i.e. BCX ACX ADX etc. Now, I wouldn't worry about the ( X ) plywood de-laminating just from outdoor exposure. However, when you stick carpet on top, the carpet will hold water against the plywood for a long time. THAT might allow the plywood to give up. If you nail or screw the carpet down, you surely will let some water inside... that won't drain out easily. If it were mine, I'd use the resin to seal it before putting the carpet on top...if you want it to last for a long time. I am sure that others, more experienced in re-doing these boats, will have more helpful information in a while. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
