Re: ATM 18" edge support: Sling or 2 wires? ... so I used both.




Not too sure that I'd use 1/4" plywood for the triangles unless they are
small.  You may have flexing of the plywood also giving a problem.  I'd
consider using 3/8" and burying the screws in the wood a bit as you need
push rather than pull so the head is more just holding the plywood in place
more than holding the triangle up so you can trim the heads down a bit or
even use flat headed screws.  You might also use a knife and remove one
layer of the plywood around the head to let it into the wood.
