Demand for a high-performance wood boat panel has lead Georgia-Pacific Corporation to develop and market an overlaid mahogany plywood called GPX Marine Green. Substantial improvements over ordinary marine plywood are clairned by G-P for the new product. The medium-density resin-fibre overlay gives a water-impervious surface which both climinates checking and provides an especially good paint surface. The combination of "super-paintable" overlaicl facc ancl rotary-sliced mahogany back is expected to prove popular with boat-buil<lers who neecl thc attractive appearance of natural harclwoorl interiors on their craft.

Structural advantage is claimed in the use of defect-free Philippine mahogany veneers. Pancl strength is assur-ed by use of Douglas fir cores.

GPX tr[arine Green will be offered in three combinations of faces to meet various requirements. 1) Overlay-both-faces for heavy wear antl wcathering areas; 2) Overlay-withmahogany-back for natural wood finish areas; 3) Over'lay-with-Douglas fir-back for non-weathering areas. Sizes will be standard, including five-foot widths and scarfed lengths. All standard thicknesses to fi-inch are available.
