Second Skin Rep Jon Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) If you're going for strength, I'd opt for 15 ply, void free, birch plywood. But I'm still a fan and user of 3/4" SierraPine MDF. Preferably Medite/Medex/Arreis. Easier to work with. Edited April 13, 2012 by Second Skin Rep Jon Quote Have a question about Second Skin?

AKT6190 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like particle board. Very light and inexpensive. no offense but particle board is horrible. plywood would be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWBryant Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Plywood was ok to work with and mdf was a lot better, but particle board... No all my corners break off because I dont like to sink my predrill holes in, or whatever its called, I have to let the screws stick out a bit or it falls apart, I'm too impatient for all that work. I prefer mdf. Quote Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very light and inexpensive. no offense but particle board is horrible. plywood would be the best. he was joking, guess that went right over your head. edit: and plywood isnt the best, BIRCH ply is what you mean, and they all have trade offs, there is no "best".

n8ball2013 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Exactly there is no best. Its all preference. Ive been working with mdf so long I pretty much know it. I do not like the amount of saw dust or the fact that it a sheet weighs more than my wife but I have a soft spot for it And no tony. you can not have pics of the wife. She's white you wouldnt like her.
