Imprimina,

I hope to make it down to (Core Sounder) Sylvia's birthday party with Bob Simpson at the Sanitary this Sunday and would like to to take a look at the boat. If not Sunday, I get down there fairly often. Where is your shop?

This coming weekend might be a good time

If you are planning on using lauan, fir plywood would be a better product. It is the same or less weight and has waterproof rating.

AC Fir?

[Tom Lathrop]

Gonzo,

Lauan is available in waterproof glue grade if you can find it. I'd use it in preference to occoume if it were readily available. Haven't seen it in a few years.

fir is also much stronger than luan, although it is more difficult to get a nice surface with fir ply, as it tends to be a little rough and hairy.
