I also used to use a Solid Core door. Now I have 3/4'' MDF thats 8' x 2'- 6'', but I also have an old Great Planes magnetic board (thin steel sheet) on a portion of it and a piece of glass I lay down for cutting film on. Eventually, I'd like to go the way of Dave Platt and have a large tempered glass surface. The advantage of that is that you can tack glue right to the glass and also use a grease pencil to mark on it, and it cleans up with a single edge razor. I've never liked using pins, ever.
you know... now that you guys are mentioning glass... when i first got into this hobby, almost 10yrs ago, the guy that built my very first ARF (a .10 sized tiger) used a mirror to mix his epoxy on... i had forgotten all about that... after the epoxy was dried on the mirror, hed take a sharp scraper and just scrap it off into a trash can...
i guess this is good for mixing epoxy?
and you say to use a piece of glass to cut covering? glass or mirror?
thanks for all the help guys!!!
