Home Depot has Duramine melamine in 3/4" sheets. I couldn't believe how
heavy it was.
I think I'm going with a 5/8" birch veneer plywood with a two part epoxy
paint over it. What do you think?
Is Okoume better than a birch veneer?


No one would ever use Melamine on a boat. It's heavy, has little
structural integrity and the surface is thin and easily damaged.

Having said that, someone will say they used it.

Formica is good, what you're looking at is molded fiberglass, which is
the best.
