Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness birch plywood should I use?

For lightweight crafts and shelving, go with 4mm or 6mm birch ply. Use 9mm or 12mm for furniture, cabinets, and sturdier projects. 18mm+ birch plywood can be used structurally, such as for flooring.

Is it okay to use birch plywood outdoors?

Birch plywood is intended for indoor use only unless properly treated with exterior sealers. For outdoor projects, marine-grade plywood is a better choice.

How do I get a smooth finish on birch plywood?

Birch plywood's smooth sanded face allows for an easy quality finish. Stain, paint, lacquer, or varnish birch plywood for protection and aesthetics. Apply a sealer first for best results.

What's the best way to cut birch plywood?

Use a sharp fine-tooth blade and cut slowly to prevent tear-out on birch plywood edges. You can also score the cut line with a utility knife before cutting for cleaner edges.

Can birch plywood be glued effectively?

Yes, birch plywood can be edge glued or face glued successfully with PVA wood glue. Ensure proper spread, clamping pressure, and cure time for durable glue bonds.

How should I store birch plywood sheets?

Keep birch plywood lying flat, indoors, and away from moisture sources. Avoid leaning sheets against a wall long-term. Covering sheets helps limit dust and debris accumulation.

Delivery depends on the size of your order

I did review this product on Trustpilot! There were two issues to lose a star - firstly, as these two sheets were for matching doors I was disappointed that the two sheets did not match grain directions ( one went widthways and the other lenghtways, so look odd now painted). secondly, delivery was poor, although I was in, it was just dumped on doorstep without knocking. However the sizing was exact with no rough or torn edges, and the packing was excellent, so would recommend the service. Just a warning to maybe ring before ordering if you require a matched pair! Luckily they are for outdoor use so not a big problem. Quality very good.

The material was excellent quality and the sizes were precise. The order process was simple followed by prompt delivery and the method of packaging was excellent ensuring no damage could occur in transit. Not having to man handle full sheets of plywood and be left with off cuts that I don’t need was an added bonus. Will definitely use Cut My again and I am already planning my next project.
