All sorts of crap gets sold as BS1088. Bruynzeel is generally
considered reliable. I believe Robbins is also good. However either of
these brands will cost you about ten times the price of generic
water-and-boil-proof, and three or four times as much as anonymous
BS1088. It's certainly very superior material but whether it's worth
that degree of premium I'm not sure.

Morning had broken, and there was nothing we could do but wait
patiently for the RAC to arrive.

A good couple of coats of clear cuprinol and then an epoxy sealant is also a
good way of sorting out ply for future protection.

Sometimes you can bring back and stabilise old timber by sealing and soaking
it in thinned down epoxy as well!
