Anyone have a good source for 16" hardplate. I've always refrained from hardplating so I'll need the "once over" and so on. I recently did a large wide open wide plank pine job stained with early american and finished with Semi gloss duraseal. Job was beautiful and all are happy. When I checked back in it was obvious to me it should have been hardplated. The knots all stood proud and I didnt' like it. SO...........your thoughts ?

I'll check with my brother he may still have one from when we resurfaced bowling alleys .

Sorry elliot07 , He gave it to someone last year .

Thanks, Appreciate you checking into it. I'll keep looking. I ought to be able to find one pretty easily. Most of em are made from hard plastic right ? Just drive the screen with a thin white or maroon pad ?
