StrangeRANGER Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Has anyone used sandeply from a big box store? I purchased some 1/4" to use on the back of some cabinets but it has a very odd grain structure and I was concerned with finishing it. Thanks, in advance.

mr.joshq Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've used it on a couple of projects. Pretty much the only reasonable plywood our Home Depot had for a while. I'm pretty sure the veneer on the outside is Banak. It smells kinda pine-ish or cedar-ish when you cut it. It's listed as 'hardwood' ply, but barely. Finishing is a bit intersting, as the grain is 'fuzzy' I sanded it up to 220 and and finished with a water based poly... ended up sanding most of that off and still didnt knock down the fuzz/rough texture. Not sure how it behaves with oil, but even without the grain raising from the water it never really smoothed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRANGER Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks for the reply, that was the impression I had from looking at it. It has an odd grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
