Why would you use such a thin plywood? Isn't the original thicker? And if painting, why use birch? Why not a less expensive product? The reason I ask is that I am looking at putting a sliding access door on the bed side of the rear "closet." Someone else has even recommended using masonite for that application. If there is a good reason to go with birch, such as to be less likely to dent than say pine, I can understand that. But 1/8" is awfully thin to my mind. mcneely On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 4:24 PM, Karl Mullendore <tdiguru@westyventures.com> wrote: > On Tue, 1 Aug 2017 11:38:17 -0400, Chris S <szpejankowski@GMAIL.COM> > wrote: > > >I would be concerned about color change/yellowing over time.
