It appears I will be coming up a little short on 1/8 inch plywood but have plentyof 1/16 left. Is it acceptable to glue pieces together to get the desiredthickness?John--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Laminating Plywood

For nonstructural parts as you described, that would be fine. Just use as muchweight as needed on the total part to get a good void free bond line. A laminatingresin like West System would work fine.--------Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Laminating Plywood

Definitely will work. I even think it would be fine for some of the smaller gussets(the 3x4 inchers and such) as you can put enough force on them to get areally good glue joint. Really large areas are pretty tough. Lots of cauls and clamps.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 01:11:47 +0000 (UTC)
