Subject: Corrugated plastic boxes
On March 6, Gill Comerford asked for information on how to build corrugated plastic boxes. I would highly recommend CCI's Technical Bulletin #14, Working with Polyethylene Foam and Fluted Plastic Sheet. This booklet is a bible for box and mount making with diagrams (that are actually understandable). Various techniques for fastening corrugated plastic boxes are explained from screws to cotton twill tapes to hot-melt rivets. And, no, you don't need compressed air. Technical bulletins are now $6 each. Contact CCI at telephone (613) 998-3721, fax (613) 998-4721. Their web site is at <URL:http://www.pch.gc.ca/cci-icc>.
