Azek Trim Boards
I had some left over trim boards from a home improvement job. They are Azek Trim boards. Available in any lumberyard at prices more than wood. However, they are rotproof, vermin proof, and can be worked with regular woodworking tools. I replaced the engine in my boat and had to extend the engine box. Starboard is very expensive. Azek looks like Starboard, so I tried it. It worked and looks good. I took some of the scraps and glued them together with PVC cement, squared them off and turned them on the lathe. I made J plugs and a squid head. It requires no sealing and takes paint as good as wood. Keep in mind that Azek does not have much strength. I would not recommend using on plugs with small diameters.
