cheap plywood
Saw this on another group, thought some here might be interested:
There is a company in Coquitlam,BC clearing out 5/8" nine ply Okume
plywood for $23.00 a sheet. They have 7700 sheets. It is waterproof
and good one side with the backside only having small knots.
I bought 20 the other day. A friend of mine, a retired cabinetmaker
from Westbay Yachts checked it out, said it was good wood, and bought
some himself. He added that it is rotary cut so is not good for a
clear finish but excellent for laminate, veneering, paint, painted
bulkheads, berths, gluing, cabinet framing etc.
The company selling it is Warex at 225 North Road in Coquitlam Phone
604-939-8004. Tell them you want the "flyer" price of $23.00 per sheet
otherwise they will try to get $25.00 out of you.
Warex sent flyers out to a number of BC Boatbuilders which is how I
heard about it. Some company in Vancouver lost it's warehouse which is
how Warex ended up with it. Warex had room to store it. I looked on
the internet and 5/8" Okume is $115.00 US plus shipping. Warex told me
they are selling about one lift per day. One lift is 66 sheets. Each
sheet is 45 pounds. At that rate my math says it will all be gone in
less than 4 months.
