"The variances depend on the type of wood, the quantity of plies, the glue used, and where it will be utilised."
"softwood plywood, is usually made of pine or fir and is often used in framing and building."
"Marine plywood is watertight and has no internal spaces, making it great for projects that will be exposed to a lot of moisture,"
"while exterior-grade plywood employs water-resistant adhesives for outdoor applications."
Plywood varies by wood species, number of plies, adhesives, and intended application, and those factors determine suitable sanding and finishing methods. Softwood plywood, typically pine or fir, is common for framing and structural work, while hardwood plywood such as birch or oak suits cabinets and furniture. Marine and exterior-grade plywood use tighter construction or water-resistant adhesives for moisture exposure, and treated plywood resists rot, insects, or fire. Plywood can be painted, stained, or left hidden in structural uses; visible pieces often need finer sanding and finishing to achieve the desired appearance.
