did you treat any of the plywood to protect it from rotting from moisture in the future? because a common misnoma is that marine grade ply is treated. it in fact is not, marine grade basically indicates a ply of specific strength and quality thats perfect for boat building, but the wood remains untreated
It has been many years1964, since I restored a '54 TF and I understand that the glue should be stronger than the wood itself but woulldn't it be better, read more stable, to make the frame tembers of one piece? I used clear cypress and steamed them to bend.
I've only got 1 rotten timber (love that British terminology) but I'm very interested in any/all videos about replacing wood. :-)

All wood was sprayed with, at least, two coats of SPI epoxy primer. This primer also has UV protectants.
