Bendy ply

Post by 56nortondomy » Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:08 pm

I've had it suggested to me to use bendy ply for linings, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and also whether it's suitable or not.

You would end up with a lot of endgrain presented as a glue surface to the soundboard and back. Does not seem like a good idea.
