Re: [bolger] quotes for marine ply and 2 sided mdo and other stuff

My vote is to buy MDO and skip glassing anything but butt joints. You'll
save over $400 worth of aggravation with this over the lesser grades, no
joking.

too many options, that's a lot of spread on wood.....if i could be
conviced that the the MDO will save me 150 dollars in epoxy,
fillers, fairers and sand paper, i think thats where i'm heading.

The MDO is the signal grade from olympic....the good stuff.

The mdo is only available in 4x10 i figure 10 sheets 400 sqft is
about 16 sq feet more than the 4x8 (384 sqft). think i can make it
all fit....may have to be creative when laying out the panels.

It's a bout time to make my order.....i'm off to clean out my garage
to make room for another boat!
