No I did not use this in the end as judging from the feedback of 0 on my post I figured it was not a popular material to use. I'm still on the hunt for a decent Baltic Birch replacement/supplier pref from the Northamptonshire area.

I'm going to be varnishing some Poplar plywood for internal shelving and was heading towards acrylic varnish, just wondering what brands people go for? (y)

Thanks for the info, I'll give them a call and see what they have(y)

Hi people, as in title can anyone recommend a good plywood supplier in Northamptonshire please. Yes I have Googled but just wanted to see if any members here have actual experience with any. Thanks for your time woodies;)

Thank you everyone for the stories, help and advice ;) Over the past few weeks I have used the mask for boarding out a loft and some small woodworking tasks but in the past I have sprayed water based fence paint due to having the vapour filters(y)

I have a 3M mask that I have used on and off for a couple of years and being tight I never changed the filters, can this make you ill? I have now purchased new filters and gave the mask a really good clean as on 2 occasions over the last few weeks I felt terrible the next day after wearing the...

Hi guys and girls, I'm thinking about using 18mm Poplar Stretek Multiply for an up and coming job. Has anyone used this plywood or know of a good supplier...best price I have so far is about £100 a sheet inc delivery. Cheers for any info

Sorry yes an engineers square

I'm cutting up a bunch of 18mm ply using a MFT top and want it to be bang on, I'm using the RS MFT jig at present to make my own tops and want to reasure myself that my tops are spot. Yep the Bahco is a good option but would like a non combination for what I'm going at

I have a full set of the Bahco combinations and are great but want the non adjustable type to replace my cheapies, something to give me a rock soild 45%

Whats a good quality brand of squares please people, my existing silverline is rubbish. I need something decent, maybe even a set to cover all eventualities. Cheers (y)

Thank you for all the replies guys(y) I'm going to go with the OSB idea from MikeK, using the T&G to lock them together is on another level and never would have thought about it. This forum isnt half bad you know:ROFLMAO:

I will be cutting up 18mm 2400x1200 plywood very soon and have read about using a sacraficial board underneath the material. My question is which one do you choose and how thick do you usually buy? I have just been on Wickes and quite a few different types from Wickes own polystyrene board...
