Hi Mike - IF you search "UltraPly," you'll find a couple of threads in the various yahoogroups. A couple of folks on the Michalak Yahoo group (they're probably...
Pricing I've gotten for "signal MDO" is higher than Okoume ply. I'm sure it's very good but regular MDO is where the savings is. There may be voids to fill...

1/4 inch ought to have 5 plys. I built my Lily with 3 ply because I didn't want to take the time to return it and it was okay, but very difficult to bend....
I prefer Joubert Okoume Marine from Anderson International Trading www.aitwood.com <http://www.aitwood.com/> has 5 ply 6 m/m for $52.98 per sheet; Beautiful...
... This sounds like the cheap Okoume plywood I mentioned here (or in another boating group) the other day which is being made in volume in China, then...
The Okoume to which you refer is not marine ply, it is cabinet grade ply. My friend/salesman at Hogan Hardwoods let me in on this and refused to sell it to me...

I at first thought this was one of those surreal spam messages (Which I find fascinating by themselves). But then glancing over it I read about the bolgerados...
The APA (American Plywood Association) stopped certifying domestic "marine" plywood in the early 90s due to inability to certify that inner plies had no...
There is a lot more nothing of anything than there is stuff. (look at the standard model). If you don't understand the concern about voids try to break one on...
