well, if you look on the bottom of your page, you should get 1 & 3, however, if your using 1.6mm veneer, 8 0r 9 is usually reasonably stiff, however maby a bit more if your doing a dropthrough without fiberglass. whereas with 3mm or 4mm, four pieces are usually strong enough, i recently made a dropthrough with wcave, ( siiikkk) and i used 4 layers of 4mm marine ply.

ok iv read the whole thread now i have a few questions im planing on making a dropthough deck with a w concave and i would like it to be stiff.(like a dropthru avenger)
1) what are the best woods to use and thicknesses
2)how many sheets will i need
3)is it better to use epoxy or water proof pva glue to hold the ply together

@Matthys you asked for help and got it when you started don't be nasty, i just did a little bit of back tracking and around page 17 of this thread i gave you a blow by blow of how you could build a press if i had been a nasty prick i could have dribbled about mdf, no more gaps, and sand but i tried to be helpful. and now your making boards. But your very forgetful, you asked dozens of questions and we all helped in good faith.
@dylan, what steve says. All 25 pages.
