[QUOTE="jethro, post: 463979, member: 12381"] I am doing a re-decking project right now myself. I have decided on my plywood getting a treatment of old timers formula and then 5 coats on all sides of straight spar varnish. Then I am carpeting, but if I were doing just straight plywood I would do the same waterproofing and then do 2 coats of tinted oil based primer and a finish coat of your chosen color in oil base. The suggestion of some aggregate in the paint for traction is a good one. If you don't seal the wood there is a good chance it will swell and split at some point. Sealing it very good should allow it to last 20 years or so. [/QUOTE]
