Different Plywoods

Re: Different Plywoods

YD, What do you see as good grain? As I recall the ply I used was ACX sanded one side with a Minwax Spar finish.
Does wood type have any bearing on how well the finish will hold up?

Im no expert on wood types ( Woody would probably know best ) but I have learned its in the prep.

Like doing teak .. a heavy oily wood .. you have to acetone wipe right before you varnish. I acetone wipe any wood that im going to coat first.

I dont know why minwax would lift off ACX though ???

YD.

PS. I dont want to get too far off the OP.

Not trying to take this off topic but the topic is "Different Plywoods". I or anyone can do a quick search and find all sorts of threads about decking or transoms and how to seal them but I've found few threads that deal with varnishing plywood. Or is that something we as hobbiest just don't do any more?

Im not a Mod .. so I cant tell you what you can and cant ask .. or post.

Sure you have a specific question about Varnishing Ply .. but the OP has suggested something that has to with decks,stringers etc..

Not really on Topic here..

This is a thread for somethig more specific to something else than varnishing wood ..

I would like to stay with the topic at hand .. you are more then welcome to start another thread though..

YD.

Sorry, reread the 1st 10 posts and I didn't see anything specific to stringers or transoms but I'll move on so as not to offend anyone.
Though one more comment, Seams I did start a thread on that subject about 2 years ago and got the same response as today! Oh Well.
