VolFan Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I was going to stack 5 pieces of 1×8, glue together with construction adhesive, and paint. I'd then be using longer bolts to install it. Am I missing an easier solution? Im basically building a 12" by 7" by 3.75" tall rectangle to mount it. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 7, 2020 Super User Posted September 7, 2020 Why? You can buy a piece of plastic sheeting the exact measurements. Probably cost more than making it yourself but will never rot. Quote
VolFan Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 @slonezp Thanks for the reply - where would i get the plastic sheeting? Believe you me, Im looking for the easiest way to do this. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 7, 2020 Super User Posted September 7, 2020 You should be able to find something if you Google it. Plastic sheet or plastic block. Quote
VolFan Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 Looks like I'll be in for about $120 plus whatever the longer bolts cost me. Boat Outfitters has it but the thickest I can get is 1". I'll glue four together and countersink a few screws up the middle. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 7, 2020 Super User Posted September 7, 2020 A cheaper option might be plastic cutting boards Quote
