Source for Marine Plywood in NYC area (partial sheet)

Post by Joel »

I need to recore a small section of the deck, around two square feet and hate to have to buy a whole 4x8 sheet of marine plywood. Does anyone know of a source of partial sheets?

Thanks,

Joel,
You might try Wood-Ply Lumber in Freeport. They say they specialize in marine grade lumber. Phone # 516-378-2612

Boulter Plywood in Somerville, MA ships anywhere via UPS

What thickness do you need? I might have some 3/4" laying around.

You may not need Marine Plywood. Exterior Plywood (CDX) uses the same glue as Marine. The difference between the two is in the voids allowed between the individual ply's.

Joel,
I have cut into and repaired areas in practically all locations on our CD30 and have found no marine plywood.They used AC or CDX which both use exterior glues.Wetted out with epoxy or polyesther resin exterior plywoods should work just as well at much less $.Marine ply doesn't have any voids,thats really the only difference.
