Plywood and Humidity
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
I'm making drawer boxes from 5/8 Baltic Birch. A few days ago, I cut the dados and rabbits in the sides. The 1/4 tongues fit nicely in the dados. I went to assemble the boxes today, and the tongues are all too thick to fit into the dados. It is much more humid today than it was when I cut the tongues and dados, but I thought plywood was pretty stable. Any ideas what happened? Am I just really bad at this?
Should I fix it now, or wait until the weather changes and the humidor goes away.
