Thorin,
Stop in your tracks! I have never heard of green plywood because of the very
nature of its manufacture. But clearly you have something that is not the
expected product. If it is causing allergies, my first suspicion is molds
growing in the wood or in the moisture that the product seems to have trapped.
Sealing in molds with paint and such might well lead to future problems, because
depending on the nature of the mold, it might well continue to grow
anaerobically. I speak as a microbiologist/immunlogist. My advice: get rid of
it.
