Hi all,

I am struggling to work out how to repair a section of plywood
which was damaged and subsequently became a bit waterlogged.

This is a section approx the size of my hand and I can rub it
down to undamaged, hard wood all around.

However, as this is a section of my boat wheelhouse, and as such,
built from a very large single sheet of ply, - and as I am not a
carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, I really don't want
to cut this section out or attempt to replace the whole sheet.

Can anyone give me a hint about rebuilding just this single layer
as a good, strong, invisible repair. The finish is paint, - so I
_can_ cover up, - a bit :-)

Appreciate any help,

Regards,

H.

I would rub the panel down to wood and give it a liberal coating
of fibre glass resin the wood will absorb a certain amount which
when it sets should give an impermeable barrier to water if you wish
you can add further layers and glass reinforcement .Be certain the
wood is rot free though or you will be just sealing in a problem
