We used two types of laminate; vertical grade and horizontal grade. Vertical grade is about 1/32&quot; thick, Horizontal grade is about 1/16&quot; thick. They&#39;re used just as their names imply. I&#39;d used horizontal for a router table. </p> <p>Make sure the laminate you get doesn&#39;t have a ny texture to it.</p> <p>G </p> http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/topic/plastic-laminate-what-to-get#post-913 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:56:43 +0000 caspersgrin 913@http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I&#39;m building a router table base on the instructions in Bill Hylton&#39;s <em>Router Magic</em>. To keep moisture out so that the table top stays flat, the instructions say to use plastic laminate. But since I&#39;m unfamiliar with laminates in general, when I go to a plastics shop, what exactly do I ask for. Are there different kinds of laminates or if I simply ask for a sheet of plastic laminate and so I need to specify exactly what I want (and what ould that be). Or, do I simply ask for a sheet of plastic laminate and expect whoever I&#39;m talking with to know just what I want?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Rob </p>
