I am trying to fill a 1/4 in gap between plywood sheets. Would it provide support (or crumble) if I put a screw thru?.

Its pretty firm to the touch and its kind of tough to cut, but I don't think if you wanted a screw through it for support would work. It does firm up well, but not good enough to use as a screw base. This is just my opinion, however as a 1/4" seam it will do a good job of being supportive pretty much on its own, and it will fill that size easily.

It is similar to a semi-soft dense foam when dry. Not crumbly. More like firm rubbery spongy. It does not fully "harden" like some foams do (probably a built-in safety feature to keep it from over-expanding and busting things like some of the original "expanding foams" did). Does not have any real stand-alone structural strength any more than styrofoam let's say, but will fill gaps nicely. If you were using it "sandwiched" between two sheets of plywood it would add some structural strength I should think. You may have to trim it around the edges with a razer blade or something similar after it expands and drys. Keep in mind that IT DOES !EXPAND! Your question did not give me a complete visual as to what you are trying to do/accomplish so this is the best answer I can come up with. Sorry.

I've seen people put plywood to fill the gap above the unit. Then you would secure the center screw to the board. You would then need to use the provided brackets to keep the window closed tight so the board does not fall out.

You could. I did the same thing. I think the product says it's only recommended for 1/2 inch gaps. If you pour it thick to cover 1.5 inches it will just be soft for a long time before it cures but it's better than nothing!

for plywood you'd use the 1 1/4 COARSE threadfor hardwood you'd use the 1 1/4 FINE thread to reduce splitting

No.. I used super glue and a clear silicone to fill in any gaps. You need a steady hand. Good luck

Probably. For my project this simply guided the hanger bolt, but my hanger bolts were longer than the tiny space there plates have for bolts, so the hanger bolt ended up going into the wood behind the plate. That was fine by me. I just kept screwing until it was very secure.

The saw has a maximum cutting depth of 3/4-inch. Most 3/4" plywood has a total thickness of less than 3/4", so the saw would probably be capable of handling that thickness, but it would be wise to actually check the depth, prior to purchasing.

You could, but you would need to make some kind of extension to full the gap between the two halves - they will work with a wall thickness up to about one or 1.5 inches, after that you need to make a "tube" of some type to cover the distance between the two ends. I did this out of wood and it worked great.

Are you talking about using it on the plywood or stoing it until you get the table? I would think either way it should work.

I would probably put a sheet of at least half inch plywood on top of the slats for support because mattress isn't that supportive alone

The practical answer is 4 1/2" material is too large. If the material was 4", then it would be less "impossible". The hang-up would be: clamping the material to the box to hold it steady and supporting the length of the material. This box is just not designed to do this job. Having said that, I love a challenge: you might find a way to hold the material steady using clamps and setting up a temporary jig. I'm not suggesting this, but I would probably try since I own the box already. The best answer I can give you is this: this tool was never designed to do the kind of job you are contemplating. I suggest you go another route.

no because oak is very strong wood.also i use this on 1/2 in plywood and broke. it's best that you buy a quality brand for oak like the milwakee brand. i hope i answer your question.

1-1/4 screw, 6 to 8 inches center to center. Use course or fine threads depending on quality of plywood-use course thread if quality is questionable.

Possibly but you run the risk of busting through and the material is actually a laminated particle board. Albeit a very heavy duty particle board but I don't know how well it would hold the thread of screw.

My best suggestion is to measure width wise between the rails and have some 2X2's cut to fit between the rails. This will support the mattress frame - you are using a mattress frame, right? The mattress itself will always fall through - the wood could help. Lydia

I used 3/4" plywood for my wall and it works fine. Keep in mind the T-Nuts go into the wall making up for the depth of the plywood.

I don't know for sure but...................since the cover to the room comes completely off, I don't see why you couldn't get a screw thru the side.
