Is linseed oil a good protectant for plywood?

It’s been raining here for days, and I have plywood sheets in contact with the wet ground. the moisture has begun to cause the plywood sheets to come apart. I have a plentiful supply of linseed oil, but if there’s a better product to use on wet plywood I’ll use it.

    If it is already starting to come apart and you dont want to replace it you have nothing to lose by trying the linseed oil. I think it may be too late now.

    If the laminate in the plywood is already seperating, it is a lost cause for those sheets. Best thing you can do now is get them off the wet ground (plastic sheeting or put blocks underneath so they wont touch and wick up the moisture). Once they dry out a bit, you can salvage some of the wood by cutting down into the areas that are not seperating, but stay at least 6 inches within the good areas.
