My screws for the mending plates contacts resting on the washers are getting impacted into the wood underneath. Any way to stop that?
Ideally speaking, we want the contacts to be exactly identical heights, thus preventing any inconsistencies that would cause problems, and save time by not needing to adjust them. Originally, Riptides method simply used washers to hold up a mending plate. However, the securing screws got pounded on, which resulted in the washers actually sinking into the wood slightly. So, the solution would be a circuit board then the screws actually now each go through their washer into circuit board, which has had the copper removed in a curve, making every other screw on the same circuit. This saves a lot of time on wiring, and is more aesthetically pleasing. The large surface area of the circuit board also makes it impossible to over tighten and depress the wood, ensuring equidistant heights 10. My panel moves up and down a large distance. Is it suppose to? Use the washers underneath to adjust the height and sensitivity. Add more weatherstripping to make it more firm.
