Steve,
Did you do any tests on this plywood? If so what did you do and what
were your results? When I was going to test my plywood i built a square out
of duglas for both plywoods and then bend it and see whcih broke first,
thats after the boil test. I never did that but would that be a good test?
Your right, I do need to tone down but only if these PEOPLE would quit
insulting me, "irritating" me especially when they are wrong in their trash
talking.
