Finished thickness 0.75in, including inner and outer layers (fiberglass sooth outside, rough inside).
It has an aluminum Uchannel border full perimeter with 7/16" deep channel (+/-, assuming uniform thickness of Uchannel)
I have considered coroplast, 10 sheets of .205" for $100, staggered and glue laminated.
I am considering rigid foam board with 1/4" luan laminated on both sides (I would have to laminate it), with likely 2 pieces of aluminum, wood, or something else inset from top to bottom where the hinges are and connected by rivets to the uchannels.
The door is long horizontally.
Dow, I think, has adhesive for their rigid foam board that I was considering for the lamination, but I am open to suggestions?
As a matter of fact, I'm open to all suggestions here ;)
Thanks.
I will offer a sugestion. Assemble on a large flat surface that you can cover with plastic. Then cover your project with plastic and form a seal all around to create a large bag you can vacuume to pull all the air out to help pull all the pieces together. The factories used to build large vacuume tablels with a lid to put the parts in. But barrowing from how they do carbon fiber I would bet just a large bag over your door would do the same thing.
