I've got some ply I could use at home (not sure of thickness, but probably 18mm) - so thanks for the offer, plus 18m ply would weigh a ton!

might walk up to Bunnings and see what a new piece is werth.

GGV8's form ply would be a lot heavier than the normal stuff.

He hasn't said, but I reckon that's what he's holding for you. ;D ;D ;D
The dark skinned stuff, used for concrete boxing.
Benefit is the waterproofing for when you do those creek crossings. :angel:
But you might need a GVM upgrade.  >:D >:D >:D

The form ply will do a better job... Stronger glue layers, plus you can slide the drawers in and out easier as it's got a bit of slip to it

Won't a new bit of ply be cheaper and easier than buying new fixings and or special epoxy glue?

But where's the fun in that.

I'd reckon this would be the easiest and simplest, and possibly strongest.

Alternatively drop into a plumbing supplier and get some hanger plates like the below pic. Drill out the T nut hole big enough for the nut diameter and fix the plate to the underside of the ply.

I can get you a nice black sheet that size, strong as and I will need to know in the next hour before I go out to lunch. Best part Bird, its free and the strongest ply around, brand new and matt black. I know the GVM of the Pootrol will handle it   ;D
