by "plactic wood" i was thinging about the stuff I seen being sold in "lowes" for home desk, I am not sure what they are made of,
the problem I trying to solve is to put in "sleepers", like wood stripping, to act as attachment points for the other stuff.
Building up glass is a pain and wood rots, any subjections.
