Okay.  The metal works fine.  This, however, you need a change.
Version 40 has simplified plant/animal reactions a fair bit.  I need to know what plant you intend on using for this if you want a proper fix.  You can't just use any plant to my knowledge.
What I don't understand is that PEARLASH:NO_MATGLOSS required whip vine and no other plant in the old version...

Because of the odd way plant and vermin reactions worked, the # of the material type had to be the same as the # of the plant. So PEARLASH, being the 21st material type, would be interpreted as Whip Vines, the 21st entry in the plant raws.

I figured out how to fix the plywood problem and the metal reactions still don't work
I have no clue why they don't 
and the 21st plant in my raws was compressed wood (I messed around with the plants in my matgloss files a lot)

EDIT: never mind the metal reactions work and the plywood one is not working

You need to change the reaction to fit the new plant definitions. Heres an example from my growable trees mod:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REACTION:PROCESS_OAK]
[NAME:process oak timber into logs]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:PLANT:NONE:OAK:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WOOD:NONE:WOOD:OAK]
[PRODUCT:100:2:SEEDS:NONE:OAK:NONE]

See how it works? Plant is ITEMTYPE:NONE:MATNAME:NONE. I believe NONE works as a suitable standin for both NO_MATGLOSS and NO_SUBTYPE and all the other possible requirements, so it's easier to use for everything (seems to work that way, anyway).

In your case you need [REAGENT:1:PLANT:NONE:X:NONE] where X is whatever your plant is. And you can add a similar entry for seeds if you want the process to return seeds (otherwise growing the plant might become unsustainable).

OK I get it now thanks

by the way your growable tree mod is awesome

What's your point?

That was exactly my point.  His thing listed the reaction as just using 'plants' whereas the actual reaction required whip vine and nothing else.
I obviously had to understand that, as in no place did he mention whip vine.  Although now he mentions that he modded the plant raws.  Very well done.  Feel free to mention important info such as that when it's a good time to, ie before we try to help.
