How thick is your Hebel? When I tried it the stuff cracked after a while. This happened twice so I gave up on Hebel. Mine was only one inch thick though.

Hi David, I am planning to use the 75mm stuff.

My first temperary door cracked as it was 2 pieces of hedel bolted to 2 x pieces of 10 mm ply ( didn't have one big enough piece of ply). Even cracked I'm still using it a year later in that condition. Mark 11 will be silasticed....no bolts and a little more give between the hebel and the face. A thicker face...less flex between the surfaces.... probably ply with a hardwood face. Finally what if it cracks again...what the heck....its only $8 of hebel....and hardly any effort to carve another. Oh before I forget 75mm (3in) hebel again it stoped the heat in Mk 1 only a little heat marks around the bolt holes... no charing. 75mm will protect the silastic as well.
