plywood for a tiny boat in Sydney, Australia?

Having looked a bit closer, the CD grade structural plys are a lot cheaper than the good marine stuff, so I'll learn my lessons on a cheap bit of timber, and take it from there :-) You do *NOT* want CD. A decent (AB or BB) exterior would be usable but not CD. Even with the better face plies you'd need to look for sheets without obvious interior voids. Considering the cost of epoxy, I wouldn't skimp on the cost of the ply it is to cover. Not to mention time. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ...a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that. Get it at http://mysite.verizon.net/xico GB, I concur don't use CD grade it will fail at the voids when you bend it, I built a one-sheet boat and that's what happened to the first one. The cost between cheap materials and good ones is much less than you think, especially in a small boat. The disappointment when the first one buggers up is a factor if you involve your kids too. MRplywood is the way to go, and they are everywhere. Good Luck. Dain. |
