Well I went to Bunnings this afternoon, as usual most of the ply was the
usual standard. I picked through the 9mm but couldn't find a useable
piece. So I decided to go another route and got a sheet of 3mm and a
sheet of 7mm. I think I was lucky with the 3mm it doesn't appear to
have any noticable voids. The only difference is the 7mm made of pine
and the 3mm outer veneer looks like some sort of hardwood. Anyways
they're now in the press being laminated with the good sides out.

So I've rebounded and jumped back on the horse . After the painful
death of my first effort with the SC , and the workshop disasters that
followed . I'm not going to try and copy the original, I'll only make mistakes
and I have ali tube for the struts. But I'm still going with the slimeline SC
style to keep the weight down.

So I have a Q, is Shelly's exterior PVA ok to use to glue the ali tube into
the plywood rings? as they intend to be permanent. Or is there a better
alternative addhesive.

regards,CS
