Bailey,

If you are going to be glassing both sides you have nothing to worry about, especially if you check for voids. I used plain 1/8" mahogany plywood and don't expect any problems.

: After doing research I think I am going to try and build a kayak out of
: lauan. One thing that I'm not clear on though is the references to
: exterior grade lauan. I have read about it on this board and in "The
: Kayak Shop." In calling lumber yards and looking at Home Depot and
: Lowe's all I can come up with is the standard 1/4" and 1/8"
: doorskin but these don't have an exterior rating. Will these be sufficient
: or am I missing something?

: Thanks Bailey--
