Firzite ?

[J. Dillon]

Is this product still made, Where can you get it ? It "tames" the wild grain in fir plywood. It also made a pleasing stain for the oak thwarts and rub rails on my last boat. Thanks JD

JD..Firzite used to be made by US Plywood, which was bought out by Georgia-Pacific. I searched GP's site for it, but got no hits. Here's a link to their chemical products...perhaps they renamed it:

A number of companies make products called neutral blenders. You put them on the plywood and they absorb more readily into the soft grain.

Then you surface sand. Now you have a soft grain that isn't quite a porous as it used to be. Then you stain and finish normally.

The problem is I don't know if these hard side products would interact well with marine products.

Check out a product called "Benite", it's made by an outfit in Seattle called Daleys. Try a search for them on the internet. not sure what their web address is. You see this product in the marine stores around the PNW. I was in Flouder Bay Boat Lumber in Anacortes, WA. yesterday talking with Erica (the proprietress) and saw some on the shelf. Nice folks at Flounder Bay, definitly worth a visit for anyone that finds themselves in that neighborhood. Anyway, it reminded me of your post here J. Dillon. I've used it in the past with success. Good luck.
