You may find that replacing the ply is cheaper. I just bought new timber
for the storm boards on my boat. The Ply was cheaper than the paint. By the
time you buy filler and/or glass and do the job it may be in your interest
to just buy a fresh sheet of ply.

We are trying to several more years of service from our old inflatible
dinghy, which has been serving us well despite a few patches. I need
to repair and refinish the three-piece plywood floor now that it has
been dry for a couple of months. The corners of the pieces are worn
and delaminated, so I am wondering what to use to repair them - is
there some wood filler or epoxy that would be best? Also, I was going
to refinish the wood with Cetol but someone recommended a polyurathane
varnish instead. What would be best for a tough finish (not so
concerned about how it looks but I don't want to do this again for a
while)?

Since my husband takes care of the bigger projects with the boat, I am
trying to take on smaller jobs like this. Thanks for any advice or
helpful hints!!!
