I am building an assembly type table and want to use a piece of 3/8 hardboard on top of MDF. The top will be wrapped in a nice band of oak and right now the hardboard isn't lying flat on the table. There is one main requirement I would like to meet in attaching the hardboard to the MDF. I want to be able to remove/replace the hardboard.
My thoughts so far is to use hot melt glue at stragetic point along the top to adhere it to the MDF. This would allow it to be popped off later with hopefully minimal damage to the MDF.
The other way I have thought of is to counter bore and screw it down. This would definately be the easy way out and not while it would work it would also break up the smooth top.
Any other ideas on how to securly attach the hardboard to the MDF while still being able to remove it?
