So You Think You Know Everything About Checking?

[Ernesto]

Read this article. Observations by a few I know say parts of it are wrong. Then be sure to read the numerous comments below the article. Wowsers is all I gotta say.

Ole Gene Wengert, wood technologist from the FPL even chimes in. I love Genes videos he did for Wagner and I believe I have even posted a few in here.

Now after reading that, check out this guys problem. OMG Even though it is an engineered, can you see what the problem is?

Yes, good read. I couldn't read the op's opening thread due to the ad on the right being on top of the text. I've asked him to email it to me. There may be a tight side/loose side issue.

Yea Dan, I couldn't read it either. But if you click on reply it downsizes the enourmous pictures so it is viewable. Least it did on my machine.

So what do you think caused this persons problem?

he must be an engineer to go into so much over the problem....

Great read, Ernesto. Now I know EXACTLY what was wrong with that BLC wood I used to get that we have now discontinued. They tried to rush the drying process.

Drying of the ply's or curing the finish or both?

 

[LeePelletier]

Drying, in the case of BLC. Gawd, I am so tired of junk.

As in kiln drying? That was engineered.

Never mind answering that. Hey, do those foreign manufacturers even use filler on BC?
