Accoya sheet over ply?
Can I use accoya sheets to cover new but poor quality "marine" ply that was wrongly used as fascia, or should the ply be removed first to avoid compromising the accoya's stability. Not sure how much the stability might be affected, as the ply will stay dry once covered, as the join will be tucked well up under the (fibreglass) roof edging.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion I would always remove existing materials to replace with new.

You need to investigate what is behind the ply otherwise there maybe nothing to fix the new fascia too hence could cause ripples in fascia 👍

Should always try and remove existing materials where possible

I would always remove existing as it may compromise the new materials your putting on.
