Pedestal on wall?

Submitted by Wolfe on 2/9/06 at 8:44 AM. ( s.savannafiredept@mchsi.com ) 12.217.4.187

I just ordered the wrong form from Research. I wanted a wall form and accidently ordered a pedestal instead. (not a wall pedestal)

Has anyone ever modified a pedestal so it could be mounted on the wall....or are there other options?

Thanks

Just cut the form off at the back to square it up.
Then set it on a piece of 1/2" or 5/8" plywood and trace the outline.
Cut new backboard and attach with epoxy or bondo. Use long deck screws with fender washers down through the brisket and shoulders to suck the form down tight to the board, remove when done.


Don't bother

1.Order what you are looking for.
2.Ask if you can send it back, they are verry understanding.
3. Don't waste your time screwing up a form as mike d said and loosing your money anyway.
4. Keep it in stock, you'll use it later.

they may charge you for the shipping, but that is still better then spending a bunch of time and foam to create the form you could just order.


everyone has their

we all have opinions. since wolfe does not have a Taxi email address
I am going to assume he is a beginner. He is already In the form for one way shipping, and although every supplier will accept the form back, he will have to pay shipping back. then he will have shipping on the new one. It is not that time consuming to cut a form, and place a piece of plywood on the back. By the way 7/16" or 1/2" plywood is the way to go. the whole process will take a half an hour. And the experience offers one more bit of understanding.
Just My humble opinion
