5/4 azak a vinyl product used to replace wood. I am going to atach a 2 way small level and I am going to put metal threaded inserts in the corners and install threaded feet so I can level the board by screwing in and out the feet on the corners when I need to use it at the track.

yes and no, i painted everthing i wanted to paint applied the stickers and then sprayed like 10 coats of automotive clear coat to protect them and the paint from fuel spillage. I figured automotive clear coat would be pretty tough.

Where did you find that vinyl? How much was it for that size piece?

one of its name is Azek and comes in a 4x8 sheet either 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 5/4. You may be able to find it at home depot, lowes, or a fairly large lumber local dealer. I haven't bought it in years but when i did it was $400 for a 5/4 x 10 sheet. It was really new back then and really expensive i am sure it has come down in price by now but its still not cheap. I am a interior custom trim carpenter and I always find scraps around the homes in all of our developements. the siding guys use it to wrap the bottom of columns. it would not be worht buying it i dont think. i am sure you could use some oak or birch 3/4 plywood and if painted and sealed properly it would last a very long time. you can get a 2x2 3/4 sheet for 12 at lowes. just make sure to paint it well and seal the edges well. and store it flat and dont stack a buch of heavy stuff on top of it.

thats because i run AKA tires now LOL! I did the stickers at like 2 am last night. I am going to trace my hudy set up pieces and my truggy toe guage into the backside of the board and then router them into it. Use a piece of 1/4 plexi and my four furniture feet on the board to hold them in. All in one.
