I had to do a little bit more sanding on this today. I also found a couple of pieces on the right that needed a little extra glue, that only extended about an inch in from the end.
I glued them in and clamped them for the night.
Before I did that, I took 2 pictures. The first one is after sanding and the wood is dry.
The second one, I took some lacquer thinner and wet a paper towel, then wiped the surface. You can see the drastic difference between wet and dry.
That's why we add finishes. Make it look pretty, and protect it.

If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

When I build tanks I use 3" wide fiberglass rolls and do all the corners' walls and bottom. I run 1 1/2" up one side and 1 1/2" up the other side giving a good seal. The cloth can be cut and lay flat on the bottom and the sides over laying the 1 1/2 " of the 3" cloth and no need to work the large sheet around corners and joints.

Thanks for the info.

While I watch the glue dry on the assembly of the kitchen sink, I think I'll turn my attention to the bath area.
I am looking for suggestions on what to cover the walls with that is waterproof.
What do you say?

Time for a mindset change. Back to work.
If you have followed this thread, a while back, I started framing out the bath area, and right in the middle I changed my mind and moved the one bath wall.
Well, I had glued it fast with some construction adhesive, and when I removed it - this was the result. Took the top layer of plywood right off, when I did. Lol.
Doesn't really matter, as it will be covered up anyway. I smoothed it out with my sander and 40 grit disk to remove the last of the adhesive in preparation for a wall covering.
So, we'll be seeing some changes in this area as work progresses.

FRP makes a good wall covering if properly installed.

You had to put that "if properly installed" in there, didn't you?
I guess the next question would be, what is a proper installation?
