splicing plywood

Postby Aaron Coffee » Sat Nov 10, 2007 10:19 am

Would it casue any problems(expansion, contraction)if I spliced plywood together with the grain going at 90 degrees to each other?
If I could shut my brain off, I could save myself alot of time, money and effort.

Think about it, plywood is already spliced at 90-degrees. I do it all the time.

Unless you're trying to match an outer finish wood grain ... :roll: We spliced a lot of ply on our TD and covered the seams with "utility" battens which are designed to mount other gear such as outside showers, flagpoles, and awnings on both sides...
