RE: Allum. Lithoplate adhesion question
Hi Mike,
I used quite a lot of litho on my Glenn Torrance Hanriot, and I just scuffed up the grey side and glued the litho to 1/32 ply for the side panels. You will find that after the glue has set the panel edges can be sanded, litho and ply together. The ply gives the litho a little rigidity but if the glue is not smoothly applied, any lumps will show through the soft litho...not all bad though, it actually looks more authentic. I did anneal my litho in a 500 degree oven for about 10 minutes. This makes it very soft and it will form over nearly anything. You can even roll it over the edges of the ply, so no wood shows at all. My build thread is still on RCU, just search gtm hanriot build and the litho action is on about page 7...I think I used contact cement to adhere the litho to the ply, but I might have used thick CA.....try a couple of test pieces....
