I'm not impressed with it. Some of it is quite junky–especially the stuff Iv'e seen in Lowe's and Home Depot. Baltic birch is really great stuff.
For joining my ceilings, I butt the two pieces of BB ply and then glue a 4" strip over the seam using TB2. (Lots of weight on the strip while it glues.) When you install it, you should try and get the seam as close to a flat spot as possible. But it works great.

Lots of scraps for sure. But hey, it's worth it. Plus, I think it will bend easier from the 4 foot side rather than the 8 foot side.
Hey...whatever it takes to have a sweet ass camper!

just curious...does it bend easier lengthwise or width wise?
