CDX Plywood and Water

How well does CDX Plywood react to water? Well it usual warps and to avoid warping I would follow these simple suggestions. 

CDX Plywood (wood) warps, now that is a known fact, but what can you do to avoid this from happening in the first place. Well one thing to know is that when CDX Wood is exposed to moisture or to water it tends to warp and discolour.

Another thing to watch out for is when laying CDX wood to ensure that you install it evenly so that it is well attached around the edges and the centre of the edges. Using a glue and screw combination is probably the best method of doing this.

 At least, from what I have found, while doing this personally. You should glue the panels down with a good adhesive mixture, and either nail or screw in to secure and fasten the wood pieces (CDX) into place, just like you would with regular panels of plywood or CDX wood. You should aim to nail out about every 24 inches or so and about 16 inches on the centre, to make sure that your hold is secure.
