What happens here

After applying the adhesive, carefully place the next plywood layer on top and press firmly. Secure the layers together using wood screws, positioning them just outside the visible sink area. This helps to clamp the layers together while the adhesive cures. Check for any 'flex' between the layers, as this could indicate an unstable bond. Immediately wipe away any excess adhesive that squeezes out using a tack cloth. Repeat this process of applying adhesive, stacking, securing with screws, and cleaning for each subsequent plywood layer until the desired sink depth is achieved. Use longer screws as more layers are added to ensure proper clamping.

Goal: Build up the sink basin by laminating and securing multiple plywood layers.
