Hi! Don't know how many will read this, but, I have used 3/4 plywood on a award winning modular layout. For the record, I would not use anything else. Sure, you have to get a decent grade of plywood. Does not have to be cabinet grade but should be BC exterior glue or better. If you are carefull drilling the proper size hole for the screw being used, you can drill into the edge of the plywood without any problem. That having been said, one must be carefull not to use anything larger than a number 8 diameter screw. Also the screw must be at least 1 1/2 inches long. 2 inches is better. Again, must be carefull to drill the proper diameter hole at least 1 1/2 inches deep for the 2 inch screw. This layout was taken up and down many times without any damage to the table structure. My table was an L girder design. Glue was used where the two pieces joined to form the L. Anyone interested is free to contact me by email at ted_fuchs@yahoo.com. I would be pleased to share my experiences. Tfox65
