I used CA. I'd probably do it differently next time tho. maybe a latex flooring adhesive. sintra usually has a cup to it, so make sure you get it on the downside.

I am not sure how well it sticks to plywood, however for PVC-to-PVC adhesion I have been using a new product called Bond-N-Fill http://www.advancedtrimworks.com/bondfill.htm
and it is really great. It dries white, has a longer working time than PVC cement and is sandable once dry. Only drawback is it is pretty expensive.

Another viable option would be "Roo Glue". It's a water borne adhesive which has numerous formulas for different materials. They recommend their "clear" formula for PVC; http://www.rooglue.com/which.html
It has the added benefit of drying clear (hence the name) with a water cleanup. They claim that it works very well with the following materials;
I have used Roo Glue clear many times for gluing to the non-porous surface of melamine, and it works very well.

I just ordered my machine (60"x96"), and now I'm trying to figure out the rest of the items I'll need by the time it arrives. I've read many of the support board accounts, and particularily liked Terry Doherty's: http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/sho...5683#POST35683.
Another account that impressed me was Mike Richard's: http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/sho...6639#POST36639
My environment will have large temperature and humidity swings like Terry's - I live in Minnesota. Terry, any new thoughts about your support board design after this additional time? How is it holding up, and did you seal the bottom of the lower layer before bolting it to the machine?
I'm also trying to figure out how to deal with joints in case the material I decide to use isn't available in 5' widths. Are seams better going along the Y axis or X axis? In either case, I would have to have multiple layers, with the seams offset. Perhaps one X and one Y?
Thanks,
Denver
