1/8 ply board shortage... sad but true

[Starchild]

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 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dimensions- ... /206120948

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

These work very well. Easier than sheet material. Durable. It's all I ever use for DR's
