OK, here's the deal. I'm wanting to make a fillet table (also just a table) for my pontoon boat. I plan on hinging it on the top rail so I can fold it down when not in use or traveling,
But I've never worked with it before and I want to put some sides on it so stuff doesn't fly off into the lake. Probably about 2" high sides.
Now my question is how do I attach the sides???? Screws?? Glue?? Would like some input from someone who has some experience in this.
Thanks in advance,
Larry B

Re: Need help about HDPE textured
Use 4200.
Re: Need help about HDPE textured
Thanks Fallguy,
but curious as to why I wouldn't use 5200 instead of 4200? I want and need a strong and permanent bond
Also can this be cut on a table saw? It would be 1/2" thick?

Re: Need help about HDPE textured
I have done some work with starboard which i think is similar . Works well with all woodworking tools , table saws , routers.
Sudbury makes a sealant glue similar to 5200 that works with star board , cant remember the name offhand. I think i
would still use some screws from the backside just to be sure.

Re: Need help about HDPE textured
3m 4200 or 5200 doesn’t really stick to starboard. It kinda tacks it together but a little bit of stress will pop it apart.
Use stainless steel screws. Drill and countersink.
Outdoor kitchen I built with black starboard boxes. All screwed together, no glue.

Re: Need help about HDPE textured
Thanks Topwater,
I think I found what your talking about: Sudbury Elastomeric Marine Sealant
Looks like pretty good stuff, I think I'll give it a try and add screws.
I really like the 5200, but here in Arizona with low humidity it takes forever to cure.

that looks really nice, must have cost a fortune for that kitchen???? but it will last forever.
Looks like I have the answers I was looking for.
Love this forum,
I'll post pictures when I've completed it,
Thanks again all,

Re: Need help about HDPE textured
Thanks AA,
That looks like great adhesive but you need the special gun to dispense it.
For my little job I should be good with screws.
You do very nice work AA no matter the material your working with
