Default Okoume or...?
In article ,
says...

Am looking for plywood less than 4 mm. Apparently, Okoume has no rot
resistance so I'd like something else. However, I cannot even find
Okoume less than 5/32" thick.
Any ideas?

I dunno. Years ago I built a boat out of Jobert Occoume, 6mm and it has been
out back, uncovered and untreated for almost a decade with no signs of rot at
all. I built a couple dozen occoume boats back then and I haven't heard
anything about any of them having rot problems.
