Using exterior instead of marine plywoods
Is it possible to use 'exterior' grade plywoods which are much cheaper than
marine plywoods? You could use a glass resin or just a strong yacht varnish to weather it. I'm building a 12 ft sailing boat. I used white deal to build the frames and a bit of parana pine for the keel (which I may have to remove because it might swell). But using 6 sheets of 'marine' plywood will break the bank. For six sheets of 8x4 ft plywood I will fork out up to 600Euro (which is close to 600 US dollars). 'Exterior' or some lesser grade might be half the price or even less and might work with a few extra coats of paint!! Will it work?? MT. Ireland |
