Never heard of fuzor. Problem is, plywood is tough to get anything but resin and glass to stick to, so I don't know if this product is compatable.
Well, some people use marine grade plywood. I think Brian mentioned he did that. I just use exterior grade plywood, but the key is to seal the EDGES of the plywood before you put it down. Moisture gets into plywood through the cut edges and starts the rotting.delaminating process. If you paint a couple of good coats of resin on the edges, that seals them. Plus, when you get done tabbing the body to the plywood, you run a layer or two of mat over the entire top and bottom of the plywood, as a skin. Water can't get in that way. Every time you drill a hole in the plywood to mount something, use some marine caulk and that will waterproof it even more.
It's just like building a boat, really. My glassman at work is going to hook me up with some new cloth he says is super strong, and I am anxious to try it on the tunnel and trans hump.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
