In Response To: S&G: Steaming Plywood (Pozamua)
: Without a lecture on how okoume is better than Luan, I was wondering if
: anyone could shed some light on steam bending luan plywood for a cambered
: deck. Actually any bending method that results in a crack free luan deck
: would be great.
Steaming won't work on plywood.
Sand off one of the outer veneers and it will bend, just the same way
a stripper is flexible with only one surface glassed.
Use one or two layers of 1/8" luan. I use two layers of 1/8" luan for my
flush hatch cover lip under the deck.
