[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 229941, member: 6657"] 1. Don't apply resin over the glue. Use a belt or palm sander with 36 grit to remove the remaining glue. This is what my plywood looked like after pulling the carpet off. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/greencoachdog/DSC02209.jpg[/img] This is what it looked like after 2 coats of filler (fairing compound mixed with epoxy) and 2 coats of epoxy. [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/greencoachdog/DSC02217.jpg[/img] I used the 635 epoxy with the medium hardener for here: https://www.uscomposites.com/epoxy.html ... and bought a quart for the fairing compound to mix with it to fill the checks (cracks) and blemishes https://www.uscomposites.com/fillers.html I bought the 1/2 gallon package which is 1/2 gallon of resin and 32 oz. of hardener. I also bought the pumps they sell, it makes measuring a breeze. 2. It's going to take at least a couple of weeks for your ply to dry in a warm dry room, a lot longer if it's cooler. Check your ply by taping a piece of plastic the the wet section that has dried, if moisture forms on the underside of the plastic it isn't dry yet. Your decking may be a tight fit, especially with the wet swollen plywood. [/QUOTE]
