Hi, Steve =96
Consider using that 3/8" board loose, just laying it on top of your work bench
and propping up any sags with mixie sticks or sandpaper; clamp the edges if
necessary. Use a 6-foot aluminum, straightedge/ruler to check for flatness of
the surface. That way also, you won't be bonding the foam "jigs" to your
bench. Store it indoors when not in use, flat against a wall (it will warp in
moist air).

hardboard on the workbench (approx. 3' x 8' working surface) but there's
a snag. Despite my best efforts, there are going to be some uneven
areas on the final surface. I've done some quick looks and none appear
to be more than a 1/16 of an inch, but they're there. :-(
Does anyone have any hints/tips on making my final surface flat? Right
now I've got a sheet of 3/8 inch hardboard ready to go, so if I can make
that level once it's glued on, great. I'd like to avoid buying a more
expensive item as a top layer if at all possible.
Suggestions?
