Scarfing ply
Posted: 06 Jul 2014, 13:24
Hi all
Have been experimenting with scarfing some ply, in preparation of replacing some planks. I
Practised on some structural ply first and the finish especially on the feather edge was not that good, a practice on some marine ply yielded a better result, with a 2mm jagged edge, see phot attached. (The photo is a close up) My question is " Is this finish good enough to give a good surface on the finished, sanded joint, ? Or should I expect to get a knife edge finish? I can see that I will have some small cavities , unless I overlap the boards a bit more then sand thru the top layer down a little. I used a brand new 20mm dia router bit, and tried both directions of cutting.Also the first experiment is using a polyurethane glue ( what I had in the shed) is there anything better?
