hokeyhydro Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 I tried blowing the dust bunnies outta my brain - didn't work. I have forgotten which plywood side the manufacturer affixes the label/stamp? A side - B side? Also - nay hints on best way to clear off sticker labels such as Joubert? Quote
PeterP Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Actually, fresh batch Joubert stickers will peel off real easy. I normally wipe the area with acetone just to be safe. If the sticker is on there fast I just sand it off followed by acetone. Never had problems with epoxy adhering. I don't know about A/B sides with Joubert - I go by grain pattern since both sides are so close in quality - in fact most times it is impossible to tell. The Chinese stuff Graham got into while back the A/B was really obvious- the B was hardly sanded at all. Great pity since the veneer is so thin. But since most of my plywood will be painted I did not care.Peter P Quote
hokeyhydro Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Acetone - now I remember - worked on stickers before - Brunzeel maybe? You are right - hard to tell A from B with Joubert. Wiley salesman at AV Mill Outlet showed me the Joubert and I decided it seemed a tad more bendy-flexible than the 4mm Chinese stuff I had before. That batch did not want to bend nice cross grain, probably because the inner ply was thick. Joubert is more balanced in ply thickness. Lighter too. Checked in 1 1/2 lbs. lighter than the 4mm Chinese stuff. And I miked it - okay, 4mm Chinese scored about 4.3 mm average, Joubert came in a few hundredths under 4 mm. Nice wood. I figure the of-brand good for flatish panels but I believe I'll go with Joubert for bendy tasks. Quote
cprinos Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Stamps on three sheets of okoume I just got from boulter all look like B side. I think that has been the case previously too but would not swear to it. Quote
hokeyhydro Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 B side would make sense, but I checked a few of my Joubert sheets and it's a no call coin flip. Quote
akruck Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 The last 5 sheets of Joubert that I got from Graham did not have sticker on either side. For the life of me I could not tell one side from the other. The sheets did not bend well, and would spinter on the stressed side, and crack where the folds terminated. Quote
