![]() "kc" wrote ... What is a good way to fix a 1/4" masonite hardboard sacrifical top to a double chipboard workbench top? Mine is secured with screws countersunk into the masonite. Don't use glue or you may have trouble peeling the masonite off to replace it if it gets too marked up. For the same reason you probably want to restrict the number of screws you use to the bare minimum as well. My workbench top has been in place since 1989 using only 6 or 8 screws and is still going strong. Well, it is a little ugly. ;0) Wax the masonite with paste wax when you are done. It will keep you from ruining the top when you spill your coffee on it. DAMHIKT Also, it protects the top from finishes, glue and other stuff that gets spilled occasionally. When the top gets ugly, a sanding with fine sandpaper and some more wax will keep it in good shape. -- Cheers, Howard ---------------------------------------------------------- Working wood in New Jersey - Visit me in the woodshop - www.inthewoodshop.org |
