Hello!

I’m doing a DIY project to refinish some flooring and concrete seems to be the cheapest option for the space. I will be using a mesh tape to for the plywood seams, but I’m running into so many people saying different things.

Should I use some sort of compound over the mesh tape?

Should I seal the plywood to resist moisture? Sounds like most people just go right over with the feather cement?

Would I need to do a bonding treatment after I seal to make the cement hold better?

Help?! 🥹
