what i got in an email from mike..
quote: The stock sheet is made wet lay-up, so it’d look the same on the top side as if we made a special part for you with the cross bracing. The £90+vat option would basically involve us adding the bracing to the stock sheet like you suggest.
Strong polyurethane sealant like ‘tiger seal’ is the stuff to use. It won’t come off once stuck and left for 24 hours. We can work out the dimensions for the cross bracing – we’d leave 50mm from all edges as thin as possible for your bonding surface. Would you want square corners, or a radius of 100mm or so?
Does it feel sterdy when fitted? not the point like, i asked for it to have cross bracing, and it should come with it.
