Workbench question!

[Rawhide]

For those of you that use the hardboard for a work surface, how do you attach it to the subsurface? Do you glue it down, let it float, or what?

Thanks.

My workbench surface is plastic laminate contact cemented to two 3/4" sheets of MDF (94" x 30") which were contact cemented together with registration pins for accurate alignment. For tooling I use an 18" x 24" granite surface plate on a stand at the end of the bench.

The only two ways I do it is to drill and countersink for flathead screws, if you want it removable.For fixed I would just some construction adhesive.Dave

I have mine screwed down at the corners; countersunk enough to put leather plugs on top of the screws and used brass screws just in case I might hit one.

Used to have it glued down, but that doesn't work very well because of the flakiness of the Masonite. If you use enough glue to really hold it down, you'll have a bad mess when replacement time comes.
