Its not exactly like that board but its similar. Should I still be corner loading it?

Yesterday I bought some of this birch. Of course, it's a 45 mile trip to take it back. Is the only down side warpage? If so, I can deal with that!

If you're getting a lot of overspray, try turning down the air pressure and hold the gun closer to what you're painting. The best way to setup the gun is to do test sprays on a sheet of paper or something. Just aim it at a paper on the wall and pull the trigger quick. There shouldn't be any drips, and it should be a consistent shape. If you get drips, turn down the fluid knob, if its too dry, turn down the air pressure.

It should look like:

Arauco is also recommended because it has equal thickness plies, works easily, and takes a finish.

Bingo! 15/32" 4X8 ARAUCO PLYWOOD ACX

Note: When I called, they said they did not have it.

I asked the guy there how often they get shipments in. He had no idea. He claimed he..."just works here."

Gotta get some this week!
