[QUOTE="Colorado1135, post: 500428, member: 18449"] The grade of plywood doesn't really matter as long as it's an exterior. On the last one I did I added fiberglass layers all around the outside. Not sure if do that again, added cost, was messy and took way longer. I'm not sure how much it added to it really strength wise. Just smother it in epoxy resin and let it soak in, flip it over and do the other side. If you want it super smooth then sand it after it dries and apply another layer. It's all going under the aluminum anyway and won't be seen. Probably not a bad idea to paint just in case it could be exposed in places to UV light. Most originals weren't treated with any sealing compound at all and can last decades. [/QUOTE]
