1/8" masonite is what they used, it is sometimes called "hardboard".
Stay with the 1/8" stuff, 1/4" is too thick.
To waterproof it, I use contact cement (Formica or Weldwood brands)
And use the flammable stuff because the waterbased doesn't work as well.
Make that it just doesn't work.
No open flames or lit pilots when you spread that glue. And be warned,
it causes cancer in CA (those people ought to move since everything
causes cancer out there) ;)
Use it to glue on the vinyl, 2 coats on the vinyl and masonite.
But for a complete water *resistant* panel, coat both sides and the
edges with 2 coats of glue. Be sure to mark what side gets covered
(don't ask me how I know this)
It should last at least 20 years as long as it's not submerged in water.
