Pietenpol-List: Laminating plywood.

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "john francis"
I searched the forums and did find some info, but I just wanted to share this.I found a place 1:45 away that sells marine and aircraft plywood. Unfortunately,they're almost out of aircraft wood and do not plan to re-stock as demand islow and their west coast supplier went belly up.As far as the marine plywood, they have plenty. I'm told it's BS1088 starting at3mm (3/32", so bit too thick for 1/16" parts)up to 25mm (1"). This page showstheir selection:http://www.condonlumber.net/plywood/mar ... aft.htmlTo date, I've used only wood from wicks and AS&S. Ribs are done and I have woodfor fuselage gussets (not the big side pieces or belly). I think I have enoughfor tail section gussets.Any suggestions as to where I could use the marine plywoodor where to avoid its'use?For anyone in the Pocono,PA region, I could pick-up sheets for you.Finally, any suggestions on what I should buy while I'm there? Would it be OK touse 3/32" where 1/16" is indicated (going bigger)?Thank you.John--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Laminating plywood.

Depends on what it is used for. If it is for a spar web I might not but Iwould not have any problems using elsewhere on a Pietenpol. Just make sureyou have good glue coverage between the two. ChrisSacramento, CAWestcoastPiet.com-----Original Message-----
