Plywood?

[THEFERMANATOR]

What is the consensus on what plywood to use for recoring a deck panel? I already got my glass and resin, and cleaned the old piece up. I went down to HOME DEPOT to pick up a sheet of exterior grade plywood, but it was HORRIBLE looking. They had some nice looking PINE, OAK or BIRCH plywood that was sanded on each side, but I didn't know which would stick to resin. I remember SKOOLS posting what to use for reasonable money awhile back, but couldn't find the old post.


AND I HATE FIBERGLASS WORK!
There I feel better now.

I use regular AC or BC plywood. DONT use treated....glass wont stay stuck to it.


No need in marine ply, its too expensive and not necesary....when u glass it, it become at waterproof and "marine" as anything.

I know that PT is out of the question. My main thing was which type? They had OAK, PINE, and BIRCH to choose from. I am no GLASS MAN by no means, and fiberglass is just about #1 on my SH!T LIST.

I use Marine plywood in the past and glass over it no problem , Dixie Plywood sells it . You can also special order it at Home Depot they will have it in within a week , Tip if you call Dixie Plywood directly they will tell you they can only sell to a Buisness however if you show up at the warehouse they have a retail outlet that so happens to be connected to the same building , and of course I was a license contractor for about and hour !!!

I'll check with LOWES tommorrow. They had some that looked really nice at HOME DEPOT with smooth surface and no knots in it, but it was pine and only 5 layers thick.
