Anyone know where to buy Marine Plywood

[wyoben]

In the Denver to Cheyenne area. Or would I have to special order it in these parts. Also looking for good epoxy resin in this area so I don't have to pay shipping on it.

You probably have your reasons to use Marine grade, but you might consider top quality exterior grade plywood and epoxy resin.<br />The marine stuff is definitely better if you want to spend that much money, but exterior plywood (adx I think) will give similar results will less damage to your wallet!<br /><br />Do a search on this forum about plywood.<br />Lots of good ideas.<br /><br />I worked a few years at Marlin Boats, and based on the voids I seen in the wood they used... It was NOT marine grade. I image most mass-production boat builders do the same. At least on their lower-end models.<br /><br />H.

I just rebuilt the interior seating frames in my dad's 78 taylor SS and did it all in Pressure Treated exterior plywood. Since I was covering it in upholstery, the greenish cast didn't matter, nor did the finish being CDX. If you are exposing it to view, I would go to a top-quality Exterior grade plywood and then seal it from the water as best you can. I can say from the experience of replacing engine cover/sundecks on the Taylor, I have built 3 now, that you certainly CANNOT 'glass over teh top of sealants like Thompsons Water Seal. It refuses to adhere of course. Good luck.

I like a nice 7 ply birch nicely encapsulated in a couple coats of west system 105 slathered on like honey...............<br />With good resin and glass you can use saltine crackers for you deck if you want to.
