Has anyone tried an alternative to pressboard for the cores to their door panels?
I've seen panels that are curved at the bottom from moisture or being recovered too tightly. It seems to only get worse as it ages. So, any ideas for a replacement material? Some kind of plastic, maybe? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

The ABS cuts by just scoring with a sharp utility knife and then snapping , kind of like drywall. It sands, drills and is very pliable when heated with a blow torch.
The velcro material is a 3M product trademarked as Dual lock tape. I think moisture will always be an issue. Washing the car, rain or just being left outside overnight can have an effect on wood or paper based products. CCLINABS4914 |
