T&T: Backing material

[Jay Leonard]

I know you got lots of advice already, but I'll add my
2 cents.
I like using marine plywood for backing plates. It
absorbs some shock which I think is a good thing in
many instances this being one.
I also am a fan of 5200.....and I have always been
successful in getting it apart after it cures...just
takes a little time.
Hope this helps and best of luck with the job.

I previously installed a windlass on my boat and used
the large washers
provided with the unit.  Under warranty I am about to
replace the
 original
windlass with a new one.  I would like to provide a
backing plate
 between
the deck and the washers/nuts to strengthen the
installation.  What is
 the
best material for such a plate?
Thanks for any advice.
