Well i had a hell of a time digging it out, but the thing was that it did not adhere to the inner skin nor the outter it just came off too easy. I found this kind of odd because he used "SHEET ROCK SCREWS" to keep it tight to the inner skin. (Bonehead move) Be careful of fiberglass guys in Tiverton RI won't mention any names. Come on CSC learn from the people who have done it and "Do it yourself"

Don,
Thanks for posting the link. I guess the APA says it's ok to use PT plywood in a laminate if it's been re-dried. So, no Home Depot PT plywood.

Indeed, that`s why I posted.
Hermco recently posted some very good info on the subject.

Love that Pilot house. Perfect for the Cape.
