I think it would largely depend on what species of wood was used in the = plies. But you are correct to think that five solid well-glued plies of = poplar should hold a screw as well as a solid piece of poplar and better = than five poorly glued and fitted plies of who-knows-what wood - after = all, a 11 plies of a multi-ply maple pinblock holds a screw as well as a = solid block of maple. I think it is just that most plywood is = poor-quality wood that has gaps, etc. Most marine ply is better wood, = but one would have to inquire as to what specie the plies are. And I = wouldn't expect a piece of marine ply to hold a screw as well as a = same-thickness hunk of solid maple - but better than a piece of CDX = plywood.
