I'm completely reflooring and carpeting a boat. Do any of you out there have recommendations on plywood and how to finish it? I've researched alot of threads on this and there seems to be a 1000 answers. Some say marine plywood, but where can you find that locally? Others say exterior A/C plywood and fill in voids with putty.
Then there is finishing. Some say to paint plywood with oil based paint on all sides and edges until it will not take any more. Then others say use 2 part epoxy in the same manner. Others say to just do the top, but not the bottom. Then some say no treatment at all.
Last what type of glue do y'all recommend. It is a lund boat so it has aluminum compartments and then plywood decking. Contact cement, marine carpet glue or spray adhesive like a 3M product?
I'm ordering the carpet and vinyl today. This is going to be a big project and after fish one I do not know if I will tackle this again. 25 carpet pieces and 11 vinyl pieces.
I know there is probably a subforum for this, but I'm looking for local ideas and suppliers.
Thanks for any help in advance.
