Hello

Im a first time builder and hope someone can answer my questions about Plywood

I just bought 7 sheets of 4 mm Okoume plywood. I thought it would be 3 plys with equal thickness. But the plys are somewhat around 0,5/3,0/0,5 mm. Perhaps 1,0/2,0/1,0 mm.

The datasheet is here http://keflico.com/wp-content/uploads/krydsfiner_okoume.pdf

The datasheet is in danish, since Im danish, and lives in Denmark :-), but the terms B/BB and WPB are on the delivery note. It is Exterior plywood. ( I did not know there was more than one type of Okoume Plywood :-/ )

Is this type ok for a Shrike kayak project ? http://cnckayaks.com/project/shrike

My plan was to make scarf joints. But I am not sure thats a good idea with the thinner outer layers.

Sorry for any language mistakes :-)
