Need to re-make the vertically hanging lid-door to the 250 in-wall.
Current is 3/4" marine ply at monumental cost & weight, and it (f@$%ing) warped - nobody listens to the PhD with 40+years experience, for reasons I'll never understand. Maybe my consulting rate is excessive...
It was made-to-work with a series of flat tiber braces that are now causing head-bash injury, and will almost certainly catch, retain & crisp-to-kill smaller jumpers in the pending stock re-shuffle. Then there's the 80Lbs of timber on my noggin while I try to work in there...
Thoughts & Options?
Need something that won't warp, lighter & about the same painted texture as rendered concrete (or ply).
I'm thinking 1" styrofoam with a layer of (epoxy) fibreglass on the wet-side (remembering my surfing days). It likely won't be strong enough for another arowana, but I don't think I'll keep anything so big in here again.
