<p> Although 21 mm is quite thick, all boards will bend or sag if they are not supported by some kind of frame. From the dimensions you have stated, I gather, that your layout is a long and narrow shelf (120 mm or is it cm?). If that is the case, you will need to mount and support it somehow on the wall. You could use shelf brackets for the support of a 21 mm board and cover the board with 50 mm foamboard. </p><p>If you have to join boards, you can use either wooden dowels or pattern maker´s dowels. </p><p>Btw, check your Yellow Pages for a carpenter, who could cut a board to the size you need - this will save money! <br></p>
