Shouldn't you have used marine ply? You know given how dry Landys are?
Look at the title Einstein. The skip hadnt any marine ply in it. The MDF once sealed will not absorb atmospheric moisture and the visible faces will be covered.
What I could have done was complete to a fine finish in any timber, take a fiberglass impression and cast them in Lloyds approved marine resin.
But I didnt.
I used a damp flexible piece of 8mm MDF and two half planks of wood. If you notice in the pictures the timber wasnt even wide enough for the job so I had to glue and cramp it. I am only using bits of crap out of my shed to do the job. I even have a solid bottle of polyurethane adhesive thats about 10 years old but the bottom 2 inch was still soft so i rescued that.
I will only be buying what I have to. Things like vinyl and electrics are imported from china at a fraction of the cost I can get them overear.
