composites:
these are definatley the best choice when replacing wood coring - the composites will last indefinatley,will not rot.
problem is,they will not hold a screw,nida core is the absolute worst - it's a honeycomb material
this is an example of the incorrect technique for mounting equipment to a composite cored surface.this "t" top was mounted on the deck,using "toggle" style bolts - my experience has been,these fail - seen these fail numerous times.there's one true way to mount equipment onto a composite cored surface - thru bolting and sleeving.in certain applications,this isn't possible - t top mounting is an example-these applications require the core surface be removed and the area where the fasteners be filled with epoxy mixed with the appropriate thickener.this will hold a screw,also holds threaded machine screws,when the holes are the correct size.
remember this,when you're mounting grab bars,seats and consoles,on a composite cored deck...
