[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 492469, member: 31667"] I researched all this pretty well when I did my boat last year. I bought the most inexpensive epoxy I could find and diluted it with acetone until watery. Then did 2 or 3 coats. As another forum member described years ago, the acetone opens the grain and the epoxy impregnates the plywood. Do the edges too of course. I am sure my plywood will not rot for ages and ages. Then, as I said in this thread, I would never do it again. It's overkill and makes it so you have to use contact cement for putting vinyl flooring over fiberglass, instead of the much cheaper and easier glue for plywood. Buena suerte, [/QUOTE]
