    Thanks for taking the time to share those pics, very precise cuts and assembly & you work nice and clean! Good stuff.
    Is the nidacore ok to use vertically in a wieght bearing situation or do you recomend something else? Thanks again JR

    I would prefer Divinycell for what you describe. What thickness, density, and lamination schedule depends on what you are replacing.

    Yes, make sure the load bearing side has at least 3 layers of structural glass. I like 1810.
