As a builder, I have used some of the Chinese 3/4 birch. It is much less expensive than the the US version carried by my lumber yard. The first time I used it was on a study/office renovation. We built up numerous built in cabinets and proceded to prime them in place after installation. You can imagine my delight when the vaneer began to delaminate and wrinkle after application of a oil based primer. We have used latex primer on the good stuff and have never had any problems I think I saved about 400 on the job. I figured I lost about 3000. I would strongly recomend you buy a marine plywood to do any repairs. A house is only as good as it's foundation. Why skimp on your boat. And he is right, treated pw is very wet and takes forever to dry. when it does, it looks like a potato chip! Or a taco.
