Thin Plywood for Model Making


Or for any other use you can think of? those of you who are modelers,scale boat and plane builders may be interested to know we can supply thin plywoods.

We have irregular requests to supply decent thin three ply,normally its made from Ockume and is about 1.6mm thick,not bad for a sheet of plywood is it.We have stocked this when it became available,which is not at all often,this suits our requests to supply it,which again,is not very often! The last four sheets we sold came from Bruynzeel Plywoods in Holland,made to a BS1088 marine ply standard and faced with african mahogany of the Khaya (which means house) species it was a really nice ply.

The phone just rang,the caller asks about 1.5mm modelers ply,he was too late by a month I informed him,he tells me he can actually buy it in from another source but a sheet thats as large as a telephone book's cover will cost him all of R300,thats U$39 by the way,now I have heard of expensive but thats way out by my way of thought.

We can supply at much better prices ex factory,which will take about six weeks,better six weeks than not at all? they make what they call a two and a three ply,each lamination having an insert of a super thin strong paper to stabize the construction,the paper is so thin,its not actually visible at all.There is also the option of an exotic species on one face,with eighty species to choose from,I assume one will suit you.We have samples if you can call by to our factory.Ex stock we can offer the 3mm Superform plys,plus range of 1mm thick Flexiveneers that may do what your after?
