G'day guys,
I just got off the phone to Australian Wood Panels, attempting to buy some more 4mm Gaboon marine ply. Seems they have been bought out by a Malaysian mob and they no longer sell gaboon. To say I am livid would be a gross understatement.
They are now selling their own product, something they refer to as Marine Plywood Hardwood A bond A finish both sides. It weighs somewhere between 7 and 8 kgs per sheet which seems bloody heavy to me.
There is another supplier who has a few sheets of gaboon left but his prices are way dearer than I was expecting to pay.
I freaking HATE this. Here was I singing AWP's praises loud and long and just out of the blue everything changes. The cost of ply to feed my obsession has just more than doubled (if I can even get it) and goodness only knows how I will get the bloody stuff here.
End of rant. I feel better now.
