I've got some construction grade plywood I'd like to cover like that, to
make it smooth and strong. Can anyone tell me what it would be? Is it
polyurethane? Is it applied in many layers or can it be done all at once?
(Maybe some kind of epoxy can be done all at once. You tell me.)
Thanks.

There are people that live for the opportunity to mix two-part epoxies and resins. Either can be used, each has it’s own advantages, disadvantages, and techneques. Probably no one knows more about the stuff then the fine folks in the boat building and repair venue. More info and help from friendly people on the ‘repair and restoration’ forum at iboats.com. Go there and start a thread. You’ll get all the tips, tricks, and gotchas to look out for that you need to make your table.
