[QUOTE="Eddie Bait, post: 264075, member: 8758"] The scenario: I am looking to cut a 3/4" 4 x 8 sheet of plywood to go on top of my trailer and under my rollers, to be used as a heavy duty catwalk. I will cut the plywood to the formation of the trailer and bolt it down accordingly. I have also purchased heavy duty outdoor boat carpeting with the proper glue. The situation:The salesman at Fleet Farm said I needed a high grade non-marine plywood, because that has a ultra smooth side for the glue and it won't delaminate. I originally said I needed a treated plywood and he said that the treated plywood is made with glues that will separate when submerged in water. The question: After further thought, should I stick with the high grade plywood I purchased, or should I return it and pick up the treated instead? The high grade plywood was $32.00 a sheet! But I don't want my catwalk to rot in a few years either. What is the answer? To be continued.... Any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, [/QUOTE]
