Just use 1.5oz mat between the layers of plywood. Also use a layer between the original skin and the first piece of wood. Much better, (stiffer,stronger) than any bondo product.

George - Kitty hair is essentially bondo with milled fibers . . . you are much better off with 1.5oz mat and polyester resin. The resin will absorb/sink into the plywood and make a strong bond.

Using kitty hair might be cat-astophic!

If your going to bond plywood to skin you can use the method everyone is saying. But i would get epoxy and thicken it out to a mayonnaise consistency with the powder thickener then apply with a trowl. You will have to grind this apart to separate. Epoxy makes the best bond when applying 2 pieces together.
