I have a Cabinet with water damage on the lower edge / corner. What's
is the best matertial to use when bonding and filling the damaged
plywood. I am looking for a material that will both bond what is left
of the plywood and replace the lost material including the "show side".
Will be repainting cabinet when the delam is repaired..

I've used Elmers Carpenter's wood filler, extra strength,
interior/exterior with great results. Comes in a little white tub with
an orange lid.
Readily available at Home Depot.

The epoxy paste that comes in tubes is really good stuff. you cut a
piece off, knead it, and plug the holes. Get the wood version, it's a
little easier to work than the other epoxies. Like plastic wood, but it
cures fast.Scot has it on his site.

Git Rot is a product that would work very well for this application. It's
mostly used in the RV and boating industrries to repair rotten plywood.

Here are a couple of links:

Hope that helps,

Agreed, Gorilla glue is the best at holding cabinets together...works
great on separated corners.

Gorrilla glue.

Expands and fills and very strong.

Will need to clamp.

Dry in under an hour.

Total cure time may be a day.
