Hello Ujjwala. With the right process, you can easily understand how to stick plywood together. You will have to follow the steps carefully to join the plywood together firmly. I recently joined a few pieces of plywood to create a piece of decor for my room. I will share the steps below to help you get through the method easily.


How to Attach Plywood to Plywood?


Here is the procedure you can follow to fix plywood to plywood:


  1. Arrange the plywoods and buff them to remove any debris or sand. 

  2. Pick the right kind of glue. I recommend using aliphatic wood glue because of its ease of usage and cleaning and high strength.

  3. If you have interior-grade plywood or particle board, go for urea-formaldehyde glue.

  4. Use a brush or roller and spread the glue on one of the surfaces thin and evenly. Avoid applying excess glue as it may weaken the joints.

  5. Clap the glued pieces together and apply even pressure across the entire joint. Use sufficient clamps to ensure there’s no gap left in between.

  6. After the glue has been set, pick the right size of nails. Take a hammer or a nail gun and drive the nail into the plywood. Leave 6 to 8 inches of gap for each nail. Ensure the nails are at the surface level so they don’t protrude.

  7. Wipe the glue stains using a damp cloth before they dry out completely. 

  8. After the glue cures and the surfaces are joined together, sand the joints and surfaces with a fine-grit sandpaper. 

  9. Apply a finish of your choice.


That is all from my end. I hope you now know how to join 2 pieces of plywood.

Polyvinyl acetate:

Polyvinyl acetate or PVA wood glue is used to join plywood together. It is also known as carpenter's glue. The wood glue penetrates wood fibres, this leads to the glue part being stronger than the wood itself. 

Doweling :

This is an old joinery method. Two or more dowels are inserted into the corresponding holes in the board. The butt joint reinforces the strength and keeps the boards together. 

Epoxy :

Carpenters use Epoxy glue to fill gaps and cracks in wooden ply. It makes the plywood durable and waterproof.

  Fibreglass :

You can reinforce two fiberglasses on each side of the plywood to create a joint plywood.

I would recommend you carry out property safety protocols and wear protective gear while attempting the processes above. This is all from my end on how to attach 2 pieces of plywood together.
