I seem to recall from an old Tony Bingellis article that it is best to ensure it is not excessively dry while skinning large surfaces with plywood.

Of course we have a small Santa Ana blowing right now and the humidity is pretty low. I currently have a drywall steamer running in the shop to get the moisture up in there. Anyone ever have luck with this method? I'm skinning with 1mm ply for the record.
