Read the instructions on ya adhesive bag.....normally you do not prime face side of ply but check with manufacturer first...

I always prime wood as even marine ply will take in water and as plywood coming into UK is not as good as it was several years ago a thin coat of a good primer helps with adhesion

tend to give most ply a coat of primer now,for all it costs its better to be safe than sorry!
