Default repairing/restoring rotted plywood

wrote:
I have a truck camper that is over 30 years old. Some of the plywood
in this camper is weather checked and/or rotted. It's 3/4 inch
plywood, and I don't know if it's "treated" or not.

The wood is dry.

The rotted areas are exposed to the sun sometimes.

I am soon going to sand the surface of this plywood.

What product or products would work for me to brush on this wood? I
want to stop further deterioration, and also give some strength to the
rotted areas. I'm not too concerned with the cosmetics of this plywood
after this operation, but _AM_ concerned about giving or restoring
some structural strength to it.

Replacing the plywood is NOT an option.

Thank you....... Lee Carkenord

That camper will come off in the first real side wind that you
encounter. Please take it off, cut some fire wood, trash the rest and
buy a new one. I have seen one come off and read about others. Water
damage and termites will kill you.
eeeeek,
