Pressure Treated Cabinet Grade Plywood

Find one of the lumber yards in Hawaii and give them a call. I am pretty sure every piece of lumber used in any permanent construction not only has to be treated for bugs it also has to be treated for mold and mildew. I would bet you are going to find it hard to find. Then again maybe not. Best bet is to find your local plywood distributor and see if you can get it in your area. You may have to pay shipping costs from the treating facility. I know it is a quote, but shop hard for this product cause you may only have one outlet for it.

Chris I have been wandering around the internet and have found several companies that sell this ply, mostly connected to boat building, but other info seems to be harder to find…

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

I’ve used it on out door projects. It works pretty much as any ply does although I’ve never tried gluing it.

I cvan’t say that I have ever seen “Cabinet grade” pressure treated sheet material. I would be very cautious of such a product because the pressure treating process injects moisture into the substrate, then you are applying hardwood veneer over it. Even pressure treated plywood is notorious for being “potato chipped” and only useful for rough work. Unless someone is pressure treating the core and kiln drying it before veneering it I just don’t see how it could result in a stable product.

In my area, it’s not legal to use PT products for interior work.
