Dene, I don't recall anyone answering your question so I'll throw out my thoughts on the matter. A good cleaning of the area should prevent any problems. The rubber is not something that is going to penatrate the wood as say a glue or liquid would. Also, if you have a concern could you turn the ply over and glue on the opposite side and put the "erased" side on the exterior? Larry Flesner
