I replaced the two sides of an RPS using ribbon-stripped sapele. I encountered the original 3 coats of polyurethane but no glue. The old ply came apart easy enough after removal of bungs and screws. The hardest part of the job was getting the new wood finish to match the old wood. I did alot of hand sanding of the old finish. I recommend against using a power sander on the old plywood. I finished all five consoles and assorted seats shown in photographs posted on my website.
