The way they shipped it caused it to crack down the middle, but a little wood glue fixed it perfectly. This balsa is very good quality and since it comes as a single flexible sheet it was perfect for maintaining the shape of the top deck. I used epoxy to glue it to the existing bottom layer, and then poly resin + glass to lay the top. I was pleased with the result. With some new sprayed on gel coat the deck will look new again.

My circa '69 14' Pintail had water saturated end-grain balsa deck core. This was exactly what I needed to replace this and rejuvenate this classic sailboat.

Sandwich between two layers do fiberglass, this wood becomes very ridge.

Used to re-core a rotten deck on a J/30. Easy to work with, laminated to backing well, arrived rolled up in a reasonable box and on time for my project.

I had a small soft spot in the deck around an inspection plate. I had access to remove the bad core and replace it with the new balsa. After epoxying the balsa in place I remounted the inspection plate.
