Rawhide Report post Posted December 1, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bree Report post Posted December 1, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Report post Posted December 1, 2008 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. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
