While waiting for the glue to dry on the top sheeting, I thought I would give you a builder's tip and show how I prepare the edges of boards to get nice tight seams on a low budget.
Three items needed to get perfect edges.
1. Wax paper laid down on your table, this will reduce the friction between the table and angle stock.
2. Length of aluminum angle stock with sandpaper.
3. Spacer board which will elevate the sheet that you want to edge sand.
Place the sheet on top of the spacer board. Be sure to leave about 1/4" overhang as shown.
Place a weight on top of the sheet to keep it firmly pressed against the spacer board. Take the aluminum angle stock and while pressing against the table top and sheet stock, slide the angle stock back and forth a few times until you get a nice edge.
The results should be seamless!
