Plywood question
I have a houseboat and I want to redo the surface of the upper deck with a
vinyl membrane like product. It requires a fresh clean wood surface to glue it to. My question - can I nail/screw down plywood on top of the existing surface which is fiberglass over plywood? With the glass underneath and the vinyl over it, will the plywood survive this or will it rot out quickly? Thanks |

As long as it stays dry, rot should not be a problem. If the vinly membrane leaks or water gets in around the edge, you'll have problems. It's the same as the plywood subfloor in a bathrom or laundry room, and a plywood roof under roof shingles. If the floor or roof covering leaks over time, the plywood underneath will deteriorate.
