<p>[quote user="selector"]Probably not, if you can assure yourself that your foam slab will never fall out of its enclosure and get damaged. If you are reasonably careful, have a surdy support system for the layout, and have a strong desire to resist having to use a few small dabs of caulking to glue the foam in at the corners, say, the outer fascia (if that is what you mean by sides) should protect it well enough.[/quote]</p><p>selector,</p><p> Thanks for your input.</p><p> It was my understanding that you had to glue the foam across it's entirety. Are you saying you just have to spot glue at the corners?</p><p>I used plywood 8" wide to make a border around the HCD's. It comes 2.5" about the doors and 4.5" below. I attached 2x4's to bottom part for legs. It seems to be very solid. </p>
