Specifications:

Core Plywood Bonding type

The core plywood bonding shall be WPB and meet the test requirements of this British Standard and using an adhesive of the type which by systematic tests and by records in service of the product over many years has been proved highly resistant to weather, micro-organisms, cold and boiling water, steam and dry heat. This British Standard applies to plywood made with untreated tropical hardwood veneers having a suitable prescribed level of resistance to fungal attack with a bond of WBP glue quality between the plies. It does not need to be 'British made material'

Face Plywood Bonding type
The face veneer shall be bonded to the BS 1088 core plywood with type I exterior glue. Marine Plywood by Homestead does not warranty type I exterior glue bond for exterior applications. However some success has been attained in exterior above water line applications when all sides and edges are sealed with at least 3 coats of “Spar” varnish.

Quality of  Core Veneers
BS 1088 British Standard Specification for Marine Plywood manufactured from selected untreated Tropical Hardwoods. Fire treating is available and as a separate process after manufacture. Core veneers shall be meranti, gurjan, okoume or subspecies there of also known by the trade names Joubert, HydroCore, HydroTech or PowerPly. Small splits are permitted, and there is no limitation on the number of pin knots or edge joints. Discoloration is permissible, provided this is free from dote. Veneers need not be matched for color. There shall be no end joints. Veneers shall be smoothly cut.

Quality of Face VeneersFace veneer shall be plain, rift or quarter sliced. The method of cutting is at the option of the manufacturer unless it is specified by the purchaser at the time of ordering. These shall present a solid surface, free from open defects. They shall be free from knots, other than sound pin knots, of which there shall be no more than 6 in any area 30cm square (1ft2), and not more than an average of 2 per 30cm square (1ft2) over the whole area of the board. The veneers shall be reasonably free from irregular grain, due note being taken to the characteristics of the species being used. Isolated pinholes not along the plane of the veneers, and occasional closed splits are permissible. Veneers showing compression failure shall be excluded. Occasional minor discoloration is permissible.

Core Veneer Thickness:
Tolerances of the core veneers vary as follows.
4mm +.02/-0.6 6mm +.04/-0.65 9mm +.06/-0.75 12mm +.09/-0.82
15mm +.1/-0.9 18mm +.12/-0.98 22mm +.16/-1.08 25mm +1.8/-1.16
From the above we can assume that 6mm material will arrive at thickness' between 6.04mm and 5.35mm.

Face Veneer thicknessStandard face veneer thickness shall be at least .6mm measured before sanding. A face veneer may also be applied to the back of the core plywood to balance the sheet but is not mandatory.
