[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 110725, member: 1632"] Not challenging Glen's post about how the laminates are laid in marine ply vs regular ply as I don't know either way. But if each ply is laid at 45 degrees to the previous ply it would be very strong compared to regular ply. I would also think that vendors would tout this and the standard to which it is manufactured. But the majority suppliers I looked at didn't. Some did mention BS 1088 which seems to be the standard that Lloyd's prefer and the one that was touted most. There were other standards for marine but they seem all to be concerned with the glue (waterproof and boil proof) used, the dimensional tolerance for a standard sized sheet, the moisture content when leaving the plant, whether both sides were sanded or not, the lack of voids, and the type of wood used. But those vendors who seemed to be solely concerned with the marine industry and not with just manufactured woods, all referred to BS 1088 as the standard to which their marine ply was manufactured too. Given the price that gets attached to marine ply, if I was in the market for some I would be asking how the plys are laid and to what standard it is manufactured. Steven [/QUOTE]
