brown/reddish brown plywood
Found both terms in my dictionary, contre-plaqué is plywood and roussi is from the verb roussir - which either means to burn/scorch, which I don't think applies to plywood, or to turn brown or russet (reddish-brown).

Sorry, just re-read the context and realise that in this case, "roussi" most likely means "burnt" since you're dealing with combustibility...

Am having second thoughts about verbing it, realizing that the text may not go on to discuss what I was thinking of (which was hot sex, of course).
