    Default Plywood

    I keep hearing people saying that they ply out with marine ply. This is over the top and unecessarily exspensive. Marine ply specs are designed to withstand sea water use and 'continuous' immersion. Unless tiling showers in sea going yachts I would always use good quality exterior ply, (but not shuttering ply) more than up to the job and cheaper for me and my customers.
    How does anyone else feel?
