    What type of plywood for trailer build?

    I stand corrected. I see 1 distributor is offering 5x5 only with interior glue and manufacturers offering all sizes speced for interior or exterior. No doubt to conform to CARB and EPA TSCA Title VI emissions standards regulations. Times keep changing. So bottom line is make sure you are...

    Looking for RTT opinions
