Marine Plywood in pond?
I finally purchased some of the wood for the new pump house today (woo hoo),
but the HD did not carry Marine Plywood. So I ended up buying some Pressure Treated wood for the roof and floor of the pump house, since this won't be in contact with the water. But I still need to find some Marine Plywood for the water wheel. But I thought I'd ask if Marine Plywood is pond safe? Also what about a finish, my preference is deck stain, but I have concerns about this being fish safe. Option two would be Epoxy paint, probably not human safe, but should be fish safe when cured. |

Are you going to eat the epoxy? I think a good sealer like varathane would be fine for a water wheel. Marine plywood as any other has glue in it. Randy |

Besides, I'd also like to colour it. I was thinking of an Maritime (Canada) colour scheme, perhaps pale blue. |
