I had a sheet of plywood that I bought several years ago, and I got it out of the shed. I didn't work at a plywood plant when I bought the sheets, but I do now. I noticed that there were dye marks on my plywood. The ones that go across the grain are okay, because they only mean that the veneer had to make two trips through the drying kilns before the plywood was assembled. But I was shocked to see other dye marks going WITH the grain. This indicates a blown board. IOW, the glue holding the veneers together did not bond correctly. This board should have been rejected at the manufacturing plant. I'll shop more carefully next time. The other day, I needed to make a couple of repairs to my house.
