Using 2 sheets of affordable $35 a sheet exterior grade plywood and standard polyester resin, we resin encapsulate with two coats of the polyester resin, waterproofing and preparing the boards for the marine carpet.
We use two thinner coats to avoid cracking and allow to sit in direct sun for 15 minutes before setting aside to cure.
We share the simple method for coating the edges fully, and show how easy it is to quickly waterproof your decks and save a lot of money over using marine plywood, which alone is 130-150$ a sheet, yet still requires encapsulation to last more than a few years.
