End Scenery board
Hi All. I have had an idea?? But it is only in the planning stages, the idea is a fold out scenery board at one end of my plank.But it is “3 ply “, and to keep it simple I would like (to use)“Araldite†a pair of lightweight hinges to the board,The question is, can it be done? Best wishes. Kevin

3mm ply - how many plies? The problem with Araldite (epoxy) is that it will adhere quite nicely to the first ply, any stress and the ply will delaminate as the epoxy is stronger than the ply adhesive. Unless you have a backing plate (wood or metal) there will not be enough wood to hold the thread of the screws.If you keep stress to a minimum it should hold. A full length piano hinge would be better, or even a strip of canvas. Spreads the stress.

Sorry, should have read the initial post properly. Three ply. As long as the hinge plates are wide you should be fine. Some small bolts and washers/nuts would be better than screws.
