    Thanks for the tip about the hardy board. I'll need to take a look at that. Is is strong enough to clamp to?
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    OK, thanks. Good to know as I scope things out.

    What didn't you like about it?

    I wouldn't go with anything galvanized. Don't need the hassle of worrying over the zinc. I'll definitely look into the concrete board.

    Thin enough to need something under it, may find it warping, distorting, conforming to surfaces, it's just not stable enough. thick enough and you don't need the wood.
