3. Did you use a special screw to attach the flanges to the top?
I am hesitant to drill into the top as I have not worked with phenolic before. From what I can learn, it seems like a difficult material to machine. I was thinking about mounting some strips like you did, but with epoxy which I read can be used to join wood to phenolic. I would prefer to attach with screws if I can do this confidently.
Thanks for your help!
