Hi,
We're remodeling and the old flooring (lino and carpeting) has been taken
up to install hardwood. I noticed many of the 4'x 8' x 3/16" underlayment
plywood has lines of stitching. Yes, stitching, which goes through to both
sides, and is made of nylon or cotton multi-strand thread.
What is this? I've never seen it before.
TIA
Very common in boatbuilding to stitch plywood then epoxy over, but I've not seen it on a floor.
What's the purpose of this? Doesn't the glue hold it together.
I've never seen plywood underlayment stitched, but "fingerjointed
hardwood "or "fingerjointed parquet" is often stitched with nylon
cord.
Same question?
