The steepest slope permitted on the scarf of a scarfed plywood repair is
- 1 in 20.
- 1 in 4.
- 1 in 12.
Explanation
A scarf joint in plywood relies on a long, shallow glued taper to develop full bond strength, so the steepest slope permitted is about 1 in 12. A steeper slope such as 1 in 4 gives too little bonding area and would fail, while 1 in 20 is shallower than required.
