I am in the midst of a kitchen counter top replacement of granite tiles in the vicinity of the sink. I've removed the 4 [2 on each side] adjacent 12"X12" tiles and the smaller front and back tile strips.
The tiles were laid on 3/4" wood underlayment [softwood core with wood veneer on each side]. Some rot has begun in the underlayment. I will need to replace about a 2'X4' section of it. The reinstalled tiles will overlap the joints.
I cannot find a local source for underlayment of that thickness.
Is there any reason I should not substitute 3/4" plywood for the underlayment material?
How about coating the new wood with epoxy to stop any more rot from developing?
