[QUOTE="thill, post: 500595, member: 4972"] That is not correct. The glue they use is the glue they use. They don't glue the middle one way and then glue the edges another way. Exterior grade plywood has waterproof glue throughout. That being said, SOME of the better commercial exterior sheathing has waxed/sealed edges. They basically roll a green or red wax like substance on the sides of the plywood. Maybe this is what you are thinking of. 35 year Class A contractor, so I've seen a lot of plywood. They do vary greatly in quality, but truthfully, for a tin boat transom, if it's exterior ply, and if you take some time to glue and seal the plywood, any of them will be fine. [/QUOTE]
