what's the difference between 'regular' and 'marine-grade' plywood? Do they sell the latter at Lowes?

Aug 28, 2007 by Rockin'Jimmy | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

Marine grade is a grade higher than the "treated wood, which is rated for exposure to water or direct contact of the Earth. Marina layers IMERSION is rated for water and has no holes in the layers of plywood. This increases the force in applications for building ships and decreases the chance of water penetration. I do not think Lowe's carrys as a matter of values. I suspect it is special order only. Get ready, it's not cheap!

Bandits abduct 3 men in Basilan

10.11.09

ISABELA, Basilan – About 20 gunmen believed to be members of the Abu Sayyaf Unit raided at dawn Tuesday a plywood factory in Maluso town in this province and abducted three factory workers, a day after suspected ASG bandits beheaded a prepare principal whom they kidnapped in Sulu province last month.

Basilan Vice Governor Al Rasheed Sakalahul said the armed men disguised themselves as soldiers and barged into the Hi-tech Wood Fraud Corporation where they took the three workers, two of whom are ethnic Chinese.

The raiders disarmed a guard before they seized caretakers Michael Tan, 27, and Oscar Lu, 51, and laborer Michael Singson.

Another works guard, Sakilan Lumayon, opened fire on the gunmen as they fled with the three captives, but it was unknown whether he hit anyone, said Sakalahul.

“We still don’t comprehend who was behind the abductions. There is an ongoing investigation and government troops are tracking down the gunmen and their hostages,” Sakalahul said. “Deliver could be the reason behind the abduction of the two caretakers.”
