As plywood is a laminated material, it responds extremely well to waterproofing and is also super easy to protect. According to the waterproofing method you use, wipe the plywood with a damp cloth and sand down with a fine grit to smooth out the surface. If you are using an oil based waterproofing option use a soft brush to get the best coverage.

Waterproof Glue Is Important

Waterproof glue is crucial when the plywood is being used in high moisture, high temperature and extremely humid environments - stopping the wood from delaminating and ensuring that your structure doesn't fail.
