[QUOTE="Joe89, post: 7688619, member: 583644"] Thanks mitch86. A note to all, I'm self taught and far from an expert. If you have done large systems before I'd love to hear any tips or advice you have. Also, to the less experienced, feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll do my best to explain. If anyone has any advice on how I can best reinforce the long, flimsy roof, let me know. I'm not looking to enter any competitions at this point... I was planning on cutting 3 identical sheets of 1" MDF, doing the roof in TWO parts, notching the MDF (kerfing) lengthwise so it will contour to the roof, and then using a propped up jack to jack up a 2x4 attached to the center of an extra, identical MDF sheet that will just be for applying even pressure and holding the roof sheets while the adhesive bonds it to the roof. Thoughts? What adhesive should I use? [/QUOTE]
