I've been toying with the idea of converting my traditional Slate Plinth into one of those open designs as produced by Slatedeck, ever since I read an article inferring that there could be sonic benefits to be gained, aside from the aesthetics (I must admit they do look very nice).
The biggest problem as I see it is the removal of the 4 side pieces from the underside of the plinth top which I believe to have been fixed with a strong compound (epoxy resin?). Fortunately the slate base is loose anyway. Unfortunately the Stonemason's who made me the plinth some 25+ years ago are well gone so I'm unable to say for sure what was used to stick the side panels.
I've tried to do a bit of rooting around and it seems that "heat" could be the answer as in oxy-acetyline (???).
Any suggestions/advice would be most welcome.
Cheers......Dave
P.S. There is a picture of the deck/plinth which I loaded up in the "show us ya kit" thread from Feb '08 but I'm buggered if I can figure out how to pop it into this thread.......Tonyl....help?
