So needed some 18mm plywood to make a table for my bench drill machine. But did not want a full sheet as storage is an issue. First site of the sheet was extremely promising. Surface was good on both sides and no air gaps between the layers. Cuts very well with a circular saw and my sheet was true as well which is unusual. I used masking tape on top of sheet to reduce breakout This worked well but not perfect. Bottom of sheet was clean along the cut no issues. Still need to route a couple of channels for T Track and will use the masking tape trick again am going to varnish the final piece which will give the top veneer more durability as well a sealing the edges against moisture. I will also be putting in a removable insert for drilling. Overall very happy with this product and would definitely buy again.

Peeling veneer, not great
I bought this because I didn't want to have to deal with a full size sheet. I was making a threshold ramp for my front door. The veneer looks great, but I didn't care about that. The fact the veneer was already peeling off one side I cared more about. So I thought I'd just open it up a little and squeeze in a tiny bit of wood glue, clamp it up and leave it a while. A triangle came away from one corner about 6 inches, with just my fingernail. As well as that, there's big holes and gaps in the laminated sheets, clear to see around the edges. I hope it holds up to its purpose. Next time I'll be inspecting any plywood I buy from TP very carefully before buying it.
Merchant Response Dear Jon, I am so sorry to hear of the not-fit-for-purpose plywood you have received. This isn't the standard that TP comes to expect from this supplier. I have passed on your complaint and the quality of the product will be looked in to. Many thanks for taking the time to review your purchase. People's views allow us to make improvements and are always valued. Kind regards, Travis Perkins Team
