plywood boat maintenance
Plywood is made with layers of wood veneer, laid with the grains at approximately right angles and then glued together. the counter-posed grains and strong inter-sheet adhesive give this manufactured wood material its strength and resistance to warping. plywood can be part of a wall, floor, ceiling, roof or even a boat. Because of its high strength to weight, plywood construction yields a boat that is much lighter and performs better than a “chopper gun” fiberglass boat. when used with the glen-l epoxy encapsulation system, plywood is as long lasting and as low in maintenance as any other material. To repair plywood boats is, fortunately, fairly easy. plywood boatbuilding, both with and without epoxy has been a popular method for boat building for quite a few years and it has produced many sturdy and beautiful boats. unfortunately, as with any method, there comes a time when repairs are necessary. 
plywood boat maintenance Plywood boats generally have relatively light interior framing and a more integrated structure. there are a number of different methods of fastening the plywood, from screws to polymer adhesives to “stitch-and-glue”. good plywood is an excellent material for boat construction, but is vulnerable to rot, deterioration, and delamination. Plywood installed in moist areas may occasionally suffer from delamination. delamination occurs when the adhesive of a plywood veneer fails and the top layer separates from the rest of the plywood. you can repair sound, dry plywood suffering from delamination using an epoxy resin.
