Replacement Filon

The front of my trailer is starting to delaminate and I would like to replace the entire front of the trailer. I found a place to purchase filon sheets but I really need the sheet to be backed up with luan. I can't seem to locate this type of sheet. Can anyone direct me to a distributor in the Pittsburgh Pa. region?

Thanks
Gary

    Howz about bonding the two together yourself with contact cement? It will be as strong as countertop laminate bond.

    As I understand it, many trailer front sheets are not backed by lauan because of the curvature. The plywood doesn't bend that well. Maybe they use something more flexible though.

    If I were replacing, I would use this:Azdel Not sure if you can buy direct. You may get a RV dealer to order or order direct from one of the RV manufactures
