Hi Steve,
It was pretty easy doing a 734mm x 55mm strip. If I was doing a full size
cage I would think about making a mold and use veneer. You could make
it just as strong but lighter. I did try to use a clean bit with no voids but
one did sneak in. You can pretty much hold up in bright sunlight and see
them. I'm surprised it didn't snap to tell you the truth. It dried within about
5-6hours pretty much on a rather warm day. It pretty well kept it shape
or had no problem. No cracking just as you would of seen on that page
I wrap it around an old 8" newt tube and gave it a sand. Sticking it onto
the inside of the rings was a lil tricky. I used the inner circle from cutting
the rings and a bunch of lil wooden wedges I made and glued it. Tacking it
with tacks or nails seem like it might be a lil hairy as the ply was still fairly
rigid and there isn't much meat in 3mm ply.
regards,CS
