I think that the EPVC is far superior to wood and with the price of wood now it’s not much more expensive, $78 a 4X8 sheet at the Depot. You just don’t have to work it as hard as wood, spring clamps work fine I just had bar clamps handy. With the Weldon 2007 you have about 2 minutes work time to get it into position and it’s set in 5, so you aren’t waiting for wood glue to dry for hours.
