Premium Member Comment by charlie harris on March 8, 2011 at 17:19: @ fitz yea but where is somewhere that they sell that in adelaide?

@ ant where do you buy your glue?

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on March 8, 2011 at 16:18: coupla extra bucks will get you marine ply (gaboon mahogany).

Better timber, waterproof glue.

Sometimes cheaper to buy a full sheet (2400x1200) and just ask them to cut it into 1200x300 pieces long-grain. Enough for 2x wide decks decks 1m long max.

or 1200x 240 for 1.2m long thicker/stiffer dancer style deck.

Then they can go straight into the press.

Comment by Ant on March 8, 2011 at 7:07: they sell 1200x600 3mm sheets of hoop pine for around $20-$30 bucks each

Premium Member Comment by charlie harris on March 7, 2011 at 16:47: $20 build off? i read back at the other one and it didnt seem to really happen, sounded like fun though

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on March 5, 2011 at 23:04: No, it needs to be hard, not soft at all.

Even polystyrene (vege boxes) would be better.

Premium Member Comment by charlie harris on March 5, 2011 at 20:43: would this kind of foam be ok for making a dimm press? http://www.clarkrubber.com.au/foam/foam-memory-foam-cut-foam/high-d...
