I picked up some cheap plywood several months ago, 4'x4' sheets, 20 of, 18mm and laminated with 6mm mdf which has been painted with a heavy duty floor paint. Got the lot for about £25 . They'd been used as a stage floor in a theatre and were sound. I was gonna use 'em to board out the loft*, but then decided a full conversion in the future would be money better spent, so put the boards in the garden, on top of a load of other timber I have stored, and underneath a heavy duty tarp.
I checked 'em the other day for the first time in weeks, and several of them have gotten wet with all this rain we've been having, the tarp had lifted in one corner. So now several of them are damp (a couple are soaked through) and are going a bit green on the corners. I'm hoping that rot doesn't set in and spoil the lot, so with that in mind, what can I do right now to save them getting completely wrecked? Getting them back under cover obviously, and I've given them an airing on dry days but should I paint them with and kind of treatment to stop them going bad?
*if not the loft then I'll use them for something else but they will get used for something.
