Hey All,
I'm planning on building new door cards this week as my old ones are ...well, old, and I see an opportunity for a durable upgrade. My intent is to strip the leather (yes, leather) off of one existing no-too-terribly-warped door card to use that as a pattern. My material of choice for the new cards is fiberglass sheeting used for bathtube surrounds/repairs. I wanted to go with something more weather stable than using masonite as per the originals which will absorb moisture and warp all over again.
Has anyone else done this? Do you foresee any problems I haven't anticpated?
Thanks for any advice.
John O.
