Looking at some red oak ply that I need both sides good.
Grades available are B2, A2, A1 and plain slice and rotary slice.
What do they mean??
Next question is I need to put an edge molding over some of the exposed
edges. How well does the heat glued edging hold up or should I look at
glue-it-yourself :)

Did you do a google search?

I picture rotary cut as unpeeling a fruit rollup, and it often leaves
a unique (unnatural and often unappealing IMO) grain pattern compared
to traditional sawing (flat or quarter).
