I didn’t say that it did. I was just pointing out it’s a waste of money to use for a worktop (more so considering it looks minging compared to birch).
Marine ply is used in marine applications due to a combination of the glues, lack of voids and the species of wood (traditionally mahogany) as the oils/resins react with saltwater and provide protection.
BS1088 addresses this somewhat but is pretty vague, so despite it all being called marine ply, not all of it is ideal for building a wooden hulled boat.
