Correx Hinges?
I have to make some triangular ‘A’ Board style stand ups and am looking for suggestions as to how best to get nice clean angles using Correx. I’ve seen some joining strips for putting Correx together but doubt these will be strong enough?? These ‘temporary ‘A’ boards, need to be packed flat for storage.
Any ideas 😕

Hi Martin
We have done some correx a-boards for a sports arena that had to be packed flat. We made the hinges out of correx, cutting into the flutes to just leave one side of the material attached, then we used a correx bonding tape to apply the correx hinge to the top of the back and front panels to make the a-board.
We then used further correx to make a foldable hinge to put down the side of the a-boards to keep the two panels together but allowing the a-board to be folded together for packing, this hinge is what holds the a-board apart.
Hope this makes sense

Thanks Rebecca, i’ll try that. By Correx tape I guess you mean high strength tape?

Yes its a high strength tape suitable for correx, we use it to bond estate agent panels together, its about 19mm wide by about 1mm thick and we get a 20m roll from GPM in Leicester.
Hope the instructions for making the correx hinges made a little sense!!
