[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 217691, member: 6657"] [b]IF[/b] you know what you're doing it's all a matter of personal preference and it isn't a problem... it's the people that don't know what they're doing that have the problems. There's a lot of people that're absolutely convinced they need to wrap their plywood in fiberglass and resin to preserve it, but I've seen just as many glassed in decks rotten as other methods of preservation... but I can't remember ever seeing a single CCA PT deck rotted. Urethane and fiberglass are great... until you breach the barrier with a screw or bolt hole, then the covering works against you when water infiltrates the wood. The urethane and glass will hold the moisture in just as well as it keeps it out when when the wood doesn't have any holes in it. I'm not hear to say urethaned CDX is bad, I'm just saying there's another option. The CCA ply comes with a lifetime warranty, that should tell you something. I learned a long time ago, there's as many ways to do something as there is people to tell you how to do it. [/QUOTE]
