Re: Patching Delaminating Plywood

Decided to epoxy it. It was my first time working with epoxy, and added in colloidal silica. Came out a bit too thick, somewhere between mayo and peanut butter. As you can see the finish is bumpy, and the silica wasn't completely dissolved. Going to sand tomorrow.
