Actually I have found 24C Gold plated (corrosion resistance) Titanium far
superior to any type of low life, proltarian, cheap, shoddy plywood. My
great great grandfather built one as a youth, and it is still in the family.

Fun with carrots:

Precious stones are measured in "carats" or "C" which is a unit of
weight. An engagement ring might have a 1 carat diamond in it.

Purity of gold is measured in "karats" or "K". It represents a
fraction of 24, so 12K gold is 12/24 or 50% gold and 50% other metals,
IIRC usually silver. It ain't no big thing, but Fred meant "... 24K
gold plated..."

Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion of plywood quality.
