Subject:Re: fiberglass sheets to replace the kitchen wooden panel.

Why would you use such a thin plywood?  Isn't the original thicker?  And if
painting, why use birch?  Why not a less expensive product?  The reason I
ask is that I am looking at putting a sliding access door on the bed side
of the rear "closet."  Someone else has even recommended using masonite for
that application.  If there is a good reason to go with birch, such as to
be less likely to dent than say pine, I can understand that.  But 1/8" is
awfully thin to my mind.
