The conclusions of this review are: 1) Insecticidal glue-line additives can be used satisfactorily to protect plywood against insect attack. 2) It is uncertain, in spite of some claims, wether fungicidal glue-line additives can be similarly used to protect plywood against fungi under damp conditiones. There is a need for further work to validate the mycological tests that may be used to investigate this claims. 3) In addition, there is a need to gain experience on the in situ behaviour of glue-line additives and it is proposed that field trials be initiated to determine their ability to protect plywood over a long period.
