After reading your first post, it popped into my mind about using a sealer on the plywood prior to re-assembly. Then I read your second post.
Even the thinnest of plywood will take a considerable amount of moisture before getting soft. the trick is it needs to dry out in between. If it stays wet, it will get soft in pretty short order. I see this regularly on my construction sites. One mistake I see often is although we like to keep our lumber covered, there are times it gets caught in a good rain (just like the men. lol) it is a mistake to re-cover it before it has a chance to dry out, trapping the moisture will create mold on the plywood relatively quickly.
You certainly did the right thing by drying it rapidly with a fan.
