So PGerringer and I are discussing (loudly as we always do) plywood. I'm wondering if I can just go to Lowes or Home Depot to buy large sheets of birch 1/4" plywood to use in my rockets instead of the "craft" plywood that you get from hobby and craft stores. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to buy it this way. I can buy a 4'x4' piece of birch for what I pay for a 12"x12" piece of the craft plywood. The density of the birch looks just as dense as the craft plywood. The birch seems just as strong as the craft.
Is there an advantage to using the craft plywood? Any opinions?
