Never seen 1/16" Lite Ply. However, 1/16" ply is normally only 3 laminations, like Lite Ply.

I've seen it used in some Chinese ARF's. Looking for a source "Ala Carte"

I'm with DR 1 on this.

1/16" birch ply is light enough to obviate the need for a "lite" version.

I appreciate the concern.
Lets stay on topic.

Still looking for a source of 1.5mm (1/16") Lite Ply.

1/64" or 1/32" real ply would be superior in every possible use over 1/16" lite ply.

How about 2.7mm?
http://hollya.en.ec21.com/GC00164659...3/plywood.html

And this lists 1.5mm "normal" plywood:
http://5125603.en.ec21.com/GC0043332...e_plywood.html
as opposed to "marine plywood" starting at 4mm.
Not sure what "normal" plywood is made of, or what "okoume" is for that matter.

These are wholesale/supplier types.
You are on your own!
