Re: More Superply

I built a Junebug out of 1/4" Superply. I'm pretty sure the 4 sheets
I bought used 2 different types of wood for the surface veneers, a
darker and a lighter wood. The seats and decks started to check
fairly soon after I launched the boat but haven't come back after I
filled and repainted. I haven't seen checking anywhere else.

Some interesting reading on using Superply as an alternative to fir AC and pine or luan.

It was mentioned on the DW forum that the outer plys in the 1/4" are 1.5mm. That's the
same as BS 1088.

Googling _guatambu_ brought up some hits on hardwood flooring, which may confirm it keeps
a decent finish.
