How weatherproof is WBP normally? I had a batch that delammed after
one rainfall. Wasn't too pleased. NT |

I have had a sheet laying outside for years, and its still retains perfect integrity (although obviously rather discoloured and mouldy looking!) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I suggest that it wasn't really WBP then. There are bits of 18mm WBP leant against a wall outside with one end on the soil and getting well hidden by undergrowth that have been there for a period measured in years but haven't delaminated... I've seen a couple of cases of the waterproof flooring chipboard treated this way too, and been surprised that it survives without damage. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Thats what I thought too, just wanted a sanity check. In which case beware of Wickes WBP - it isnt. NT |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: How weatherproof is WBP normally? I had a batch that delammed after one rainfall. Wasn't too pleased. I have an unpainted sheet doing service as the bottom have of a sliding workshop door and it's been that way for ten years without flinching from the weather. There's a lot of crap sold as WBP now. |

Maybe it got shuffled in the racks by another customer, ply is ply is ply 'innit... ISTR that WBP has stamped marking on the face(s) saying it is. -- Cheers Dave. |
