Plywood?

[Stinky_Hooker]

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 always used a/c fir. i would stay away from pine.

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 use cabinet grade from lowes that's 13 ply 3/4 or 10 ply 1/2 last sheet cost $27 for 1/2 i think 3/4 is $33

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.

This is the best plywood I have seen for staying together.
Problem is, the coating on it makes resin almost impossible to stick.
A vigorous sanding will help.
This plywood used to be coated with an oil that had a diesel smell to it, now the coating resembles a wax of some type.


And Stinks right, don't use treated. It's not just the fact nothing will stick to it, the glue will seperate in the layers.
The cabinet grade stuff Skools is referring to is lighter and more rigid (requireing less support), would be the best bet.

In my younger days I done a whole floor in a small boat in PT.....I was NOT happy about a month later...



Ive used regular sanded pine every since....never had a problem..
