QUOTE: Originally posted by bellerose First of all,I'm a rookie with almost the same problem. The Layout is also like an "E" and is 6-1/2 X 12-1/2 feet. Needed space between the layout and the basement wall. Rightly or wrongly,I did the following. Decided to use 1/8" masonite panels. Laminated(glued) 5" wide X 3/8" plywood on both sides of a 2" wide masonite strip(total thickness=7/8") thus creating a slotted channel. Mounted the laminated composite to the side of the bench. Since the slot is the same width as the Masonite, the panels fit snugly into the slots. Also,if I chose to change the scenery,the panels could be slipped out and new ones put in. They might need some kind of joiners at the top of seams though. Still in the building stage so I don't have a verdict on this method. JEB
QUOTE: Originally posted by colvinbackshop I also tried 1/2" pink foam board down the center of my peninsula and really liked it's ease of use, being very light weight and pretty flexible. It however wouldn't bend as tight a corner as I needed/wanted, so I backed off on the curve some. Even with that, it broke a few days after being installed, warranting the removal and replacement.
