Inside Out

Yep , worth trying doug.

 

You can glue flathead screws with epoxy to ply.. release with heat (DC source?) and scrape the rest of the epoxy while it's still warm..

 

how bout that glue that they use to temp used to seal junk mail, that peels off in a strip?

or try rubber cement

 

You don't need the small recesses. Plastic is fine but not necessary. I think that you would be happiest with ItchyandScratchy's idea of panelpins (why wouldn't this automatically come to mind?). My vote is to not use epoxy as it is much harder than the ply and will be a bugger to get off. Ask for Joubert ply from Boulter. It has a fungicidal glue and won't easily promote rot. If you use hot glue, get the strongest, 3M, you can get. Splash a little denatured alcohol to remove. Really, try this - you will be amazed at how something that sticks that well can be removed that easily.

 

---------------
Boulter doesn't list Joubert-any other sources you can think of? edit: found several sources-its interesting that at least two companies claim to be the "exclusive supplier of Joubert plywood" in the US...

Thanks for the ideas guys-I'll test several of them....
