Hi all,

Where can I buy a 5'x9' or a 4.5'x5' wood?

I'm looking at either a marine ply wood, or particle board. This is to be used for a table tennis table. Any idea on it's price as well?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt if you can find plywood or particle board for that matter that have the dimensions you mentioned. Common sizes are 4' x 8'. You can get in touch with plywood manufacturers too and see if they cut according to your specs. HTH!

Ok, I've given up looking for odd sized board and got a standard sized marine ply wood instead.

My next problem is, how do you harden the surface of the plywood? I was thinking marine epoxy but I'm really not sure if it's the right way to improve the stiffness of the board to improve bounce of the ball against it.

I'm guessing polyester body filler should do the trick.
