Hello all,

i often read, that only marine standard plywood has to be taken into account for stich and glue kayak building. (i believe that this was discussed very often, but...). I bought 4mm plywood and ask for marine standard but i fear it isnīt. The wood i bought looks good but has only 1mm outside layers of Okume wood. The middle layer is 2mm thick. Shall i throw it away or could it fit ? What are your expierience with this kind of plywood ?

Regards

Wolfgang
