Need suggestions for wood base

[aragorn723]

Hi, so I built a wood base for the Quickie, but it came out a little bit bigger than the Quickie plate.  The goal was to make the plate fit the inside diameter of the base and support the plate with brackets, but the inside diameter is a few milimeters too big.  How else can I support the plate (don't have a router).  Thanks,

Just glue some wood rails inside the box that the plate can rest on big enough so the plate don't fall through.

That should work.. any need to glue the plate itself, or just let it sit on top?

Not unless you plan to stand it verticle.

Use rubber cement to glue the plate after you have it all worked out.  You should be able to push it out if and when you want to do some mods to the circuit, and should hold fine and not move around.  I would suggest silicone sealer for the metal plate kits, but I think you would break the plastic plate if you tried to push it out for mods.
Both of these will clean up nicely when you do push out the plate, allowing you to easily re-glue them after you do any additional work on them.

Sturmj,

That's the idea i was going for.. to be able to somewhat secure it (so it can be centered in the opening and not move around).  Where do you buy rubber cement?  Thanks,

Hobby store, arts & crafts stores would have it for sure. Looks like office supply store have it too.
