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) |
