Re-enforcing water damaged plywood?
Late last year a seal by the antenna in a 1992 18' Scout Nomad allowed some water to come in on the front right corner of the trailer. The plywood in the wall feels like it might have absorbed some water and dried out. I noticed it due to a small amount of the wallpaper peeling right up in the corner. The board still feels intact but tapping on it it seems to 'feel' less dense in the portion where the water came down. The board itself still seems quite intact, however.
What I'm wondering if there is anything to treat a water effected piece of plywood such as that to add more strength to it and seal it up in the event of future problems with the antenna seal. Perhaps something that would absorb into the wood? (I'm assuming the reason it feels less dense is that it is now a bit more porous)
Any suggestions are appreciated. I want to try avoid replacing that section as I have no idea how involved that might be!
