Re: Homemade Perlite Board.. and Door
G'day
My doors to date are carved ACC silasticed to a wood face. They are a damn site stronger than pearlite cement and still suffer from being knocked around. My current one has a large chunk off one corner that been silasticed back.
If you still want to caste a door I'd be making a baking dish type shape of metal with a lip. Casting the pearlite or better still stuffing with CF blanket alone. Silastic the lip to the wood front and a minimum of screws just for good measure. No bolts mind you they give you hot spots on the face of the door. Fibreglass rope silasticed over the lip should complete it.
Anyway when I ever get around to building a metal door this would my probable construction path till then the ACC one survives and works well enough.
