Care and use
Plywood is made from a natural material having its own characteristics. The material expands in a damp atmosphere shrinks in a dry summer. Wet on one side only causes expansion of the wet side, making it bow, thus it is desirable to keep it equally wet or dry on both sides. Uses both sides alternately, store in vertically in say a washing up rack, with air able to circulate both sides.
Do not store in a stack on anything but a flat surface.
Keeping in a damp environment causes mould marking, which is not important, if unsightly. Experience suggests it is undesirable to varnish discs, however thoroughly, as it interferes with the natural process of responding to humidity, causing bowing. Batts can be washed and gently dried. Placing close to a kiln is not a good idea as it causes differential drying to one side. During manufacture unavoidable slight edge chipping occurs. In use these fill with clay and can be ignored.
