Construction adhesives will bond boards well. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application processes. Screw joints should be pre-drilled to avoid splitting.


Tips from other designers
The web page lists 3 available sizes (P1,P2,P3) but only shows prices for P1. Does that mean P2 & P3 aren't available?
Hello! That is correct. We do our upmost to supply every material in all our standard sizes - but at present we are only able to provide this in P1 size.
A 181 x 181 x 3.2 mm sheet for laser costs $12.62
A 1200 x 1200 x 6 mm sheet for CNC costs $36
40x area and 2x thickness for 3x cost?
Is the quality very different?
Hi Clif!
It's all really down to what we are able to source and for what cost. These thinner birch sheets are high quality and aimed at a craft market. They come in small sheets (not large enough for our P2) and are not cheap.
We're definitely keeping an eye out for alternate supply options that would see that cost come down. Cheers!
Hi, is this price correct:
P1 Plywood - Birch
1.5mm = $11.26
3.2mm = $6.82
the thicker material is half price of the thinner one?
Thanks
Hi Miguel! That IS correct. All prices reflect the cost of sourcing the materials, and oddly enough the thinner stock costs us twice as much to source as the thicker. Cheers!
I am patiently waiting with extremely high hopes that larger sheets of 1.5mm thick birch will be available. Is there anyway to look for a source? I know this typically only comes from Finland, but there are a couple of sources on the east coast that import it.
