You may find that replacing the ply is cheaper. I just bought new timber

to just buy a fresh sheet of ply.


Have to agree. Plywood has come down in price in this area. This
summer, while doing a renovation project, I was pleasantly surprised to
find that outdoor G1S spruce plywood was only a couple of dollars more
expensive than that crappy 'chip board'.
(of course, this was before the hurricanes)
