Re: Pounding in the chop
That ain't marine ply, that's lauan underlayment or a close cousin. I've
never seen marine ply of this sort. I haven't seen every possible style of
marine ply but I've seen domestic fir, sapele and okoume in many
thicknesses and samples of a whole lot more.
I suspect you're right Craig. I know I would have certainly been better off
with construction fir or even underlay spruce. But I did purchase what was
labeled marine ply from a supposedly reputable marine supplier (I've long
since found much better suppliers) for an exorbitant price. I was young and
stupid in those days. Now I'm not so young anymore.
