I friend who works as a production supervisor at a local factory wants me to make a couple lids for their glue pots. The glue pots are basically hot melt glue pots of some sort. The glue comes in cubes that they place in the pot and melt it uses pressure to dispense the glue. The current lids appear to be some sort of plastic but the edges are getting broken and they want them replaced. The lids need to be about 10" round with a 1/2" rabbit or lip around the edge.

I'm waiting for him to get back with me to confirm how hot the pots actually get. But, do any of you have suggestions on what wood I can or should use?

Thanks
