Thanks guys. I appreciate the input. I think I will glue the end skirts on one side, and fasten the other side with a barrel bolt with an elongated hole to allow for expansion. Better safe than sorry. The top has been in my garage for a couple months now & I regret not measuring the width exactly – it would have been a good experiment to see how much expansion I get. It was hot & relatively dry when I finished laminating the top in july or august, and is cold & wet now. Live & learn….
Thanks again.
