Re: [bolger] checking plywood

Mike-

Have you used penetrol with good results on Douglas fir plywood? That's the
most notorious plywood for checking.

This sounds promising!

Aside from reducing the work of finishing the boat, I'd love to have
a way to be able to see a little wood grain in the side panels. I'll
have to give PENITROL a try.

Mike,

Have you ever tried to get an epoxy bond to that treated ply, or are you
applying an oil-based paint system?

I have had very good luck with a PENITROL prep of the bare plywood to
prevent checking. it consists of flooding the surface with penitrol and
keeping a wet film for 15 min.wipe off, repeat once the first day and one
more time the next with the penitrol cut 50% with the topcoat. I have had
very good results. I believe the directions are on the can. in lue of the
penitrol
give the bare wood a couple of thinned out coats of topcoat Before the
primer. I have maintained boats in florida for a living and have had some of
the same ones for over a decade.
thanks
mike
