Hi,
I wish to place a piece of one-eighth inch thick tempered masonite panel over the top of my bench. I would like to be able to replace it when it gets beat-up. In the past I have pinned the outside perimeter about every 6 inches and did not glue. This time I would like to glue it and omit pins so there is no metal in the top.
Somewhere, in the past, I read that diluting Original Titebond a certain amount with water would leave it strong enough for a bench "cover" yet make it easy to remove in a few years. I don't know what dilution was recommended and I'm not even certain it was the Titebond. In other words, "I don't know squat."
Any recommendations for attaching the temperboard in a way I can remove it later without destroying my bench top?
I did try Google search and I did try <titebond.com> without success.
Thanks and Enjoy.
Jim
I have been taking photos of the bench modification and the installation of the 12 inch Rockler vise. I will show them when the job is done.
