I'm planning on building a temporary workbench using materials on hand and targeting only 2 days for construction. The top would be 3/4" particle board glued to 1 1/8" particle board. I'd like to attach a sacrificial top of 3/16" thick hardboard to the workbench top plus to the top of the table on my RAS.
I'd appreciate suggestions on how to attach the sacrificial top so that it is relatively easy to remove in the future. I don't want to use wood glues since removal would be difficult. Are there any glues that will release at temperatures of say 150-200 F so that I could use a heavy duty hair dryer or a heat gun to release the glue? Would contact cement release at these relatively low temperatures?
If there is no suitable glue, I'll consider mechanical options. One such option is 18 ga brads countersunk 1/16" to provide some protection for plane blades. I'll wide open to other suggestions.
Thanks.
Bob
