I have just chucked my spot board of 15 years! Found it at the back of a coal bunker in 98. It was 18mm ply but what ply I do not know.

Marine plywood mate, had mine 16yrs and still going strong :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[mikeadams1985]

Ply with a coat of fibreglass resign?

 

[jeffplast]

Marine ply, varnished. It's lasted 7 years and still going strong.

 

[timeservedspread]

No mate, it's constructed in a way that the makes it the ply chosen to build yachts because it repels water, front / middle and back veneers are always a high qualty wood.
Worth paying a bit extra for because it's ideal for banging your bucket o gear on and washing off ect, won't warp or split. :RpS_thumbsup:

Mines got a piece of 12mm osb with about 4 or 5mm of multi/board finish plus bonding/browning and hardwall on it cos there all tight feckers up here and i can never find a piece of ply anywhere on any jobs. It has lasted about 4 yr now though andlooks as though it's got at least another 4 in it :RpS_thumbup:
