Questions & Answers about King Starboard 1/2": 2013-05-23 A shopper asked: Do you have the 1/2" King Starboard in Dolphin Gray? You show it in your product photograph, but it is not a menu selection. 2013-04-01 JACK SCHWAB asked: How strong is this stuff? Could it be used for a replacement floor in my 17' fishing boat? +Expand Answers 2013-04-03 BRIAN PARKER: I believe thats one of the uses its intended for as boat flooring. I used it for a transducer mounting plate that attached to my transom. You might find more info on Cabelas or Bass Pro web sites for similar products. 2013-04-03 JAMES BARGHAAN: The material is as strong as similar size plywood according to the manufacturer. I have only used smaller sections for trim panels. The 1/2 inch thickness does flex a bit in long lengths. I have not seen the 3/4 inch but it is kind of heavy based on the specs 2013-04-04 HUGH HAZELTINE: Short answer is no. It could work if it was supported say every six inches. Remember that the strength will vary with temperature. As temp goes up, Star Board will become more playable.. 2013-04-05 STEVEN RINGER: Boy I think so. I formed it into a curved surface and made a gunwale guard over which I pull my lobster pots. Takes a beating and cleans up, ready to go. Very strong and very easy to work,fasten etc 2013-02-22 RAY RACKLEY asked: what color is seafoam? +Expand Answers 2013-02-25 Kevin V: It is an off white. 2013-02-19 TONY DEL asked: Is there a strength spec I need to know. I will be making a polling platform and putting it on my 17 foot flats boat? +Expand Answers 2013-02-20 JAMES BARGHAAN: The product is durable but it does flex it needs to be supported well on stainless or aluminum tubing if you are going to stand on it. It also may need some non skid treatment. I don't know the manufacturers exact specs. The 1/2" thickness is what I used for some trim and non structural items. I have not worked with 3/4 inch thickness though. 2013-02-20 JOHN W RATCLIFF JR: I don't know the strength spec of the product, but yes you would need to find that out- it is also made in 3/4" and 1" thick material. My personal opinion is that 1/2" Starboard would not be good for that application. Unless there are aluminum strips to give support under the board, it would be too weak to support a person. Also, it does not offer much traction. 2013-02-20 STEVEN KASPER: Starboard is not strucutal, its meant for mouldings and electronic boxes and cabinets, if you use it for a poling platform you will need 3/4 with a framing spaced 4 inches on center or you will fall through. 2013-04-06 DOUG HENNESSEY: I dont know of a spec but there is some flex, I would think you would need at least 1" thickness to meet your need. 2013-04-06 DOUGLAS BEATTIE: Tony, I think it would need a supporting frame of some sort to give it more rigidity. It also might be a bit slippery. 2013-04-07 MARK ERDOS: It will bend unless it is well supported. 2013-02-19 TONY DEL asked: What does starboard weigh? +Expand Answers 2013-02-20 JAMES BARGHAAN: The starboard sheets seem about 1/3 heavier than comparable thickness plywood it is dense but cuts fine on my table saw. It can be routed at slow speed to reduce melting,and edges need sanding after cutting. I use carbide blades/bits 2013-03-05 JOHNNY HOLLAND: Tony, I bought a 24" X 24" X 1/2" section it was mailed to me and the packing slip said 13 pounds. I would say the box accounted for a pound. I hope this helped you. Johnn yH 2013-03-06 MARK ERDOS: It weighs about the same as plywood. 2013-03-07 ROBERT DORCH: The 1/2" King Starboard does not weigh that much. A half sheet weighs 15 lbs. Great size for tackle boxes, cutting boards, trolling motor mounts, storage boxes. 2013-03-15 JAMES OBERTHALER: Sorry this took so long. The piece I have left was buried and inaccessible. I finally dug it out. ALthough it's slightly irregular, a careful measurement places the area at 4.20 sq ft. This piece weighs almost exactly 10 pounds. So we have about 2.38 pounds per square foot for the 1/2" thick starboard. Hope this helps. 2013-02-03 CARL HEINZ asked: How well do screws hold in starboard. And what kind of screws? +Expand Answers 2013-02-04 TERRY SEXSON: Screws are about the only way to hold starboard in place unless you bolt it. Treat it just like wood. 2013-02-04 BRIAN LOGAN: They will work fine I actually made an entry door for my boat with the starboard. Just make sure you use pilot holes before putting in the screws. The board can be worked just like work, just make sure you use the right blade for plastic, ( nothing special, very fine teeth but can be found everywhere.) 2013-02-04 DAVE DEMUTH: Very well, Imused stainless screws 2013-02-04 DOUG HENNESSEY: The Starboard works just like wood,screws hold better than wood as the Starboard is denser/stronger.Wood screws are best and drill holes as using wood. 2013-02-04 SAMANTHA LAKO: we have drilled and tapped and used machine screws. we have also used self tapping screws. 2013-02-04 MARK ERDOS: Hi Carl H, I recently used Starboard for a couple of projects. I replaced a teak cockpit table and some teak instrument sun shades. I would say that the Starboard does not offer any holding on its own. The manufacture says to drill oversize holes for screws allowing for expansion and contraction. For my projects, I made sure the screws were anchored into a solid backing substance. Securing the screw was either wood or resin. The claim on this stuff is you can use regular wood working tools. This is true. However, it does not flake apart like wood. For example, when drilling a hole you are not left with dust as you are with wood. Instead, the drill bit cuts (or shaves) the plastic and you have something resembling a long curly fry. In a marine environment, I would l only use stainless steel or brass screws. In a non-marine environment, I think you could use drywall screws. The drywall screws will offer the most holding but you need to be sure to not over tighten them. They will also not countersink on their own. Your will need to drill a small pilot hole and use a countersink tool prior to inserting the screw. Each hole can only be used one time as the starboard becomes threaded. Hope this helps. 2013-02-04 GREGORY BOURESSA: Carl, starboard is great for replacing wood without requiring the maintenance. It is softer than wood but holds wood screws extremely firm. I love the stuff and use it in place of wood whenever I can. 2013-02-04 FRANK LINDSAY: "HI" carl, sheet metal screws work real well in king starboard If you are using it around salt water I would recommend stainless steel screws I would also recommend pre-driling or counter sinking screw- holes ... and I would practise on a scrap pice of starboard. Frank 2013-02-04 LEON HOPKINS: I was able to drill and tap with no problems of holding. I would think that wood screws would hold as well. 2013-02-05 DEAN POETZL: I haven't actually screwed to it. In my application I used it as an overlay to cover holes in the top of my console and my T-Top (bought the boat used). In my case I drilled counter sunk thru holes and attached to the material on the other side with stainless taper head screws. 2012-09-13 A shopper asked: How heavy is this product compared to wood? Is 1/2 inch strong enough for decking on a ski boat? +Expand Answers 2012-09-14 LEON HOPKINS: The way I like to think of weight on a boat is would the plastic float or sink. It will sink so that proves that it is heaver than wood not a lot but some. As far as strong enough for the deck would depend on the span of supports under the starboard. it is strong but maybe a little more flexible that wood. Hope that helps. 2012-09-14 JAMES PINTAURO: For decking, I wouldn't go with anything less than 3/4" starboard. This material is a bit flimsy so 1/2 2012-09-14 COBEY KAUFMAN: I used this product to make companionway boards for my 27' Sailboat. The material weight seems comparable to 1/2" plywood. The rep I spoke with at King Plastics regarding strength informed me anything you can do with 1/2" plywood can be done with King Starboard. I am very pleased with the weight, strength and appearance. The boat is on a mooring and has been exposed to the summer heat, sun & wind and rain from this seasons storms and still looks great. Comments by others on the Jamestown site were correct regarding how easy it is to work with this material. 2012-09-14 CHRIS JENKINS: It depends on how far apart the bracing is I used It on hatches that get walked on but they were not very wide ! It's not as rigid as plywood! 2012-09-14 COBEY KAUFMAN: P.S. re: companionway boards - These are like doors to the sailboat cabin - they are boards mounted in slots on each side of the entry to the cabin steps. They slope inward from the top a few degrees. They do not carry weight but are sufficiently strong to resist break-ins. 2012-09-14 KIM HORN: I doubt the 1/2" is strong enough. The material has flex in it... so maybe if it's supported often enough it would be suitable, but if it was my boat I wouldnt use it for that purpose. 2012-09-14 TERRY SEXSON: I used the starboard to mount a trolling motor on my ski boat. The 1/2 inch needs some support if you are going to span much distance, say 12 to 16 inches. I would diffinately try to use the starboard since it can be worked like wood but requires no maintenance. I would say the starboard might be a little heavier than wood but it would depend on the type and quality of the marine grade wood. Let me know if you have any other questions. Terry. 303-815-8025 2012-09-15 TIMOTHY TAIT: There are two factors that in my view make Starboard unsuitable for decking. First, it is a thermoplastic so it will creep under load. This will only be more pronounced in direct sunlight. Second, and this is an even bigger issue, it is very slippery, and even more so when wet. 2012-09-15 GREG BOSSI: Its probably 30% heavier if you compared it to 1/2 plywood or teak etc. I used it to manufacture some doors etc but remember two things, First its more flexible then wood aka if its not supported underneath it will bend. Second, in direct sunlight it expands and contracts quite a bit., I tried using 1/4 " black to replace the teak inlays on my swim platform and when it got heated up it rippled 2012-09-17 FRANK LINDSAY: How heavy is king starboard 1/2? ..... Is about 3 times as heavy as the same size in marine plywood... and as for decking .... you can use it but it is flexable so it should be supported from underneath with ribs or some kind of suport. FRANK, 2012-03-24 A shopper asked: Would 1/2" thick King Starboard have sufficient strength for use as Companionway boards? The companionway width is approximately 21-1/2" at the bottom & 28" at the top. The height is approximately 36". There would be 2 boards - The lower one would be 21-1/2" at the bottom, 25" at the top and 18-1/2" tall. The upper board would be 25" at the bottom, 28" at the top & 17" tall. This question comes to mind due to comments in ads regarding strength limitations of this material. +Expand Answers 2012-03-26 BRIAN LOGAN: I just purchased a piece as my main entry door on the rear of my boat. I believe it would suit your purpose. Just as an FYI , it would be as sturdy as a 1/2" piece of wood, the nice thing is that is can me machined just like wood, just predrill hole and use a fine tooth blade made for plastic. 2012-03-27 FRANK LINDSAY: As I understand Companionway It's a ships ladder and in that light I would not recomend using 1/2 inch Starboard for ladder steps, may be 3/4 inch would be better........ but to tell you the truth I don't understand your discription to well ... but if it's steps your looking to build I might sugest using 1" inch oak boards .... as 3/4 Starboard is very heavy. ....... Frank 2012-03-29 STEVEN RINGER: I have used pieces 12 inchces wide and 24 inches long to make gunwale guards for hauling lobster pots. Very strong with excellent abrasion resistance. I dont know if this translates at all for your application, 2012-03-29 JAMES PINTAURO: Not sure exactly what application you are describing. However, 1/2 inch Starboard is quite strong for dashboard panels, doors, cutting boards, trim, etc. I wouldn't put heavy loads on it but if you are looking for a sturdy, low maintenance replacement for something you might otherwise fabricate with wood, it is an excellent choice. I would think your application would be fine since you are using two pieces. If one piece, it would bend or bow and 3/4" would be a better choice. Note that Starboard stains easily. Don't use pencil (graphite) to mark your cuts. Use a crayon instead. You can sand it but it will show. I like the material and find it reasonably easy to work with. Good luck. 2011-09-15 J.A. SMITH asked: How fire proof is this material? I am considering it for outdoor kitchen cabinets. +Expand Answers 2011-09-30 DWIGHT MATTHEWS: It just so happens I had a few small scraps left over from my project. I put the small scrap on a sawhorse and lit it with a butene lighter. It will burn on its own, not violently, but as it burns it melts and it dripped on the ground like a burning wax candle. I know nothing about any fumes it may be putting off. I would not use it anywhere near an open flame. 2011-10-23 STEVEN RINGER: I used it to fabricate a protective cover for my gunwale whlle lobstering. I bent the sheet after heatign it extensively with a heat gun. It got quite wam and in some spots started to come close to melting, but never charred or caught fire, so I would say it is prettty resistant to fire. Beyond that, I cant really say 2011-11-23 DOUG HENNESSEY: I dont know, Im just making some hatches for sailboat, I recomend asking manufacturer. 2011-08-03 A shopper asked: What typy of adhesive should I use on this? +Expand Answers 2011-08-03 Jack Mann: The 3m DP8010 and the 8005 are to 2 adhesives test on Starboard. Both require the EXP applicator gun.
