Excellent idea. If you combined that with a page all about the various
plywood types, species, classifications and names around the world, you
would probably have the most visited boat building site on the web! Better
make sure your server is up to the traffic... :-)

Questions are always being asked about the suitability of this glue or that.
Matters are complicated by the changes of product name from country to
country. I might put together a web page with a schedule of glues by
country and generic type. For example countries might be grouped as
follows:- Australia/New Zealand, Britain, Europe, USA/Canada and glues
provisionally into the generic types:- Epoxy, Resorcinol, Formaldehyde-Urea,
Polyurethane, EVA. Any interest and/or constructive comment?
