    Some key takeaways from the passages include that phenol resin is commonly used in manufacturing plywood and laminated boards. Fiber cement boards are a good alternative to other building materials like plywood due to their high flame resistance and water resistance. Concealed or inset hinges are often used for cabinet doors that are flush mounted. A scoring knife or hand guillotine is recommended for cutting fiber cement boards.

    Phenol resin is commonly used in the manufacturing process of plywood, laminated boards, and glulam lumber to bind the layers or components together.

    Some common types of concealed hinges used in cabinetry include inset hinges and half lap hinges, where a thin opening can be seen between the edge of the cabinet and its door leaf.
