Has anyone tried this ply?? It should be available everwhere,
I have done two S&G Cirrus with it and it was VERY satifactory NO VOIDS at all,
light weight, a little soft but as mine were glassed there has been no problems.

Plytech EuroLite is constructed using only Italian
Poplar veneer. The Poplar is sourced from sustainable
managed forests with PEFC certification. The PEFC
Council is an independent non-profit international organisation
promoting sustainably managed forests through
third party certification. This medium density wood has
low bending and resistance to shock loads, low stiffness
and medium crushing strength. It also has a medium
steam bending classification.

Working Properties
A versatile plywood that is easy to machine, plane, turn, glue and bore. It has a tendency to split
when nailed, therefore screwing and gluing is
preferable. Poplar is tough and does not splinter.
Thickness Weight
4mm 5kg
6mm 6.5kg
EuroLite is a light weight panel ideally suited for application
in the Recreational Vehicle (RV) Industry in order to
reduce weight.
