I used Filon on my build. I got it from an RV surplus shop in a roll. I didn't know if I should float it or glue it. The opinions around here were pretty much 50/50 so I flipped a coin and floating won. For mine, it didn't work. As soon as it warmed up out in the sun it warped like mad. My guess is the amount of linear feet had something to do with it and it compounded with every inch. So, round two... I bought red glue, a contact adhesive made specifically for Filon and sprayed both surfaces with a throw away Harbor Freight gun. Should have done it the first time because it is flat and beautiful. I've had it in the sun with 125 degrees on a point and shoot thermometer and it's great. Check out my build if you're interested in the Filon debacle.
