: Robert N Pruden : Hmm, I get it local for $78 CAD
: Just checked prices at a local supplier (BC,Canada)...
: 4mm BS1088 Joubert (France) 3-ply 14lbs/sheet $85
: 4mm BS1088 HydroTek (Malaysia) 5-ply 19lbs/sheet $54

: $56 is a good price for the Joubert stuff, if that's what you are
: looking for.

: Any comments on waterproof plywood vs non-waterproof, 3mm vs 4mm,
: weight, and # of plys would be interesting to me.

: Thanks
: John

The same supplier carries Hydrotek Meranti in 4mm for $33 USD. It's BS 1088, but the supplier advised me that the core could be either Meranti or Keruing and it can significantly effect the weight of the panels. I think that the range they gave me was 19-26# for 4x8 sheets.

They also carry Douglas Fir marine plywood, but not down to 4mm, and it's heavier.
