View Full Version : whats the best to use on table top for ho munsonator008 06-15-2008, 08:26 PM I was thinking of using , mdf on the top of my new table, 3/4 inch of course lol anyways what do you guys think thx to all 1976Cordoba 06-15-2008, 09:09 PM 1/2" plywood would be fine. NTxSlotCars 06-15-2008, 11:26 PM I like that lightweight stuff you get at home depot. I used it on mine. It's some kind of sound deadening board over in the insulation section. It looks like black asphalt, and is real easy to work with. There's a great shot of it in my slideshow. I took a yellow paint marker and made a parking lot for a burger place in the infield. www.myspace.com/northtexasslotcars Rich Dyno Dom 06-17-2008, 11:17 PM I used MDF- 3/4 in. for my table top. It is heavy but very smooth. It also is a good material for screws & takes paint well. Be aware: as plywood sheets are 48in. X 8ft, MDF sheets are 49in. X 8ft. This can really be a hassle of joints not aligning w/ nailers if not planned accordingly. Good luck & looking forward to completed pics. :) munsonator008 06-18-2008, 05:23 AM Thx Dyno I will go with the mdf 3/4 yes i layed my table out on 12 inch centers , but i will add a 2x4 here and there. not sure why they made mdf 49 inches wide, anyways thx again Slott V 06-18-2008, 10:22 AM MDF is usually 49" x 97". They make it larger than normal since the edges usually get damaged in shipping. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
