Also makes a pretty good whiteboard for your office or your kid's room.

James,
If you're asking about the tileboard, as I recall, it was stacked in a
bin near the paneling and plywood. I think it only had a barcode
sticker. The bin label was "tileboard". I believe it is sold for a
cheap shower/tub surround. It comes both plain and with an embossed
fake tile pattern. I used the plain, of course. If you're referring to
the peel-ply, it is sold by the yard at all suppliers of glass and
epoxy.

If you're asking about the tileboard, as I recall, it was stacked in a
bin near the paneling and plywood. I think it only had a barcode
sticker. The bin label was "tileboard". I believe it is sold for a
cheap shower/tub surround. It comes both plain and with an embossed
fake tile pattern. I used the plain, of course. If you're referring to
the peel-ply, it is sold by the yard at all suppliers of glass and
epoxy.

Fellow Ply Splicers,
When I began my project, I bought a 4' X 8' sheet of 1 / 8 " white
tileboard at Home Depot (about $9 a sheet). I got it to cover the work
table where I cut my glass tape and cloth. It makes a good surface for
using a carbide roller cutter and since it is masonite coated with a
very glossy white plastic on one side it is easy to use a felt tipped
pen to make cutting guide lines which show through the glass tape or
cloth. I had a little left over.
Then I made a happy discovery. Epoxy absolutely does not adhere
to the glossy white plastic coating. Now when I tape-splice sheets of
plywood, I use a strip of peel-ply next to the wet out tape. Next comes
a piece of tileboard with the plastic coating facing the peel-ply. then
comes my clamping board.
Both the strip of peel-ply and the piece of tile board can be used
over and over. The first time peel-ply is used, the epoxy wets through
and cures on the outer surface (the one that is away from the wet out
tape) but none stays on the inner surface. When the peel-ply is
removed, the joint is left with a very smooth matte finish and no
sanding is required (provided the plywood was dished out the correct
amount for the thickness of tape used). Each time I reuse the strip of
peel-ply, I make sure to place the same inner surface, the one which is
free of cured epoxy, against the splice. My joints are now much
smoother and more uniform than when I was using 4mil polyethylene
against the splice.
