Re: Salt vs Fresh Water was Plywood choices and suppliers

The glues should not react any different to fresh or salt water but
the Idea is for the water not to get in in the first place.

Good deduction and something I have read about as far as worms the
impregnated face is tough for borers.

[bolger] Salt vs Fresh Water was Plywood choices and suppliers
Hi John,

Thanks for the info. I was suspecting that since salt is used as a food preservative (salt cured ham).

Next related question. Should salt water be taken into account for glue selection?

Thanks,
Ron

Ron -

I can tell you that fresh water rots wood and fast. I'd bet most rot found
on wooden boats in salt water is due to rain water and not sea water. I
have read that salt water is kind of a mild preservative and there is not
the waterline rot like we see in the Great Lakes. But then there is the
worm issue us lakers don't have to worry about (not to mention sharks :^)
