[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 173558, member: 456"] Just to make it clear about quality of marine plywood. A proper marine plywood will have both waterproof glue and hardwood veneers. Cheaper ones will only have the waterproof glue. The real thing is expensive so the best way is to find a local boat builders who will sell you an offcut. Regarding epoxy, there are special thin epoxies intended for wetting out timber in order to make fully timbered boats, i.e. no metal fixings. The WEST epoxy system comes to mind but you might have to pay over the odds for small quantities by buying online. I have no connection with that company but I know people who have built boats with it. Other companies produce a similar product but make sure you get the thin liquid. Do not make it thin by using a solvent. That produces bubbles which will mean that the end product will be non waterproof in the long term. [/QUOTE]
