this has nothing to do with longboarding but does anyone know what sort of glue or what i should do if i am gluing 30cm wide sheets of pine together that are 6ft long and that would be strong enough to go in water

Its most likely not the valve. If you have done the cardboard and sprayer or bathtub thing and you have taped up all the holes, its more likely to be your sealing tape, especially if its a bit dirty. I can give you some. PM me the width of your bag and your address Holden

You want the long on the outside where it'll do the most work for you
Think I beams, hollow bones, trees that still stand with the middle rotted out etc
and with 1.5 I reckon you can get fairly complicated forms

True Steve.. but I understood Holden's initial comments to indicate he had veneer...
if it's PLY, then as Steve says - lay-away!!

With ply you don't need any crossplys, its already built in, just lay up every sheet with the grain :)

ooooh.. I see your dilema now (would help if i read it properly!) - not enough longs...
if you had one more long it would be no problem :(

Plyco - cool, I have them on my list of places to check! thanks. (I'm in Melbourne too)
that's 9 plys which should be plenty if it's 1.5mm veneer - I only use 8 with mine because I always glass/carbon fibre the bottoms (virtually the 9th ply) and they're plenty strong - I'm 95kgs and no issues at all
This is my last board made this way http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/photo/carbon-kevlar04?context=user - you can see the two cross plys clearly
