Adding new layer of plywood to porch & stairs.

Hi... the craptacular ancient "turf" was falling apart so I'm ripping it off. Since the existing wood wasn't protected, my plan is to sand, prime and paint it. I also purchased some 1/4" thick plywood that I will also prime and paint before I add it as a 2nd layer. My question is: Do I need to add anything in between the layers or will the priming and painting be adequate for keeping them safe from moisture damage? Thanks for any help you can give me! submitted by /u/Cynvisible [link] [comments]
