Hey guys a little problem on my side of the planet, Completing 2 DR280s and reached the "Back Halves" stage and guess what? There is a shortage of 1/8 Ply Board in the country

(Lucky me). Question, I saw a material called "Hardboard" same thickness, would it work in the cabinets?

I will post a link to provide a visual

Thanks in advance

That's basically sawdust held together with glue so isn't going to be able to bend like 1/8 ply would unfortunately.

Actually you can roll it up like a cylinder, very flexible

If it can be bent to the required radius it should be fine. I doubt it has the puncture resistance of birch plywood, so do the full length sides and back overlay option.

Full length sides and back overlay was what I was planning to do so it's a go!
Thanks again Bill
