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.
