Gander, what's your source to buy the Azek material and price?

I haven't made my way to HD yet and I don't want to waste a trip if it won't be there.

I sell Azek as well as many other building materials, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The four holer shown above is for a 7.2 cu ft Magic Chef and used one piece of Azek 1x8x18' and a 4 oz. can of glue to construct.

1x6x12' 28.50, 1x6x18' 42.50, 1x8x12' 37.75, 1x8x18' 56.75, 4 oz adhesive 7.50

Azek has a website with a dealer locator http://www.azek.com/azek-trim/
You would be looking for Azek trim not their decking product. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Interested in building an insulated collar from Azek trim.
How difficult is it to work with this material (cutting, holes, cementing)? I'm thinking the stability of mounting the hinge and taking the strain on the mounting screws(?) over time. Is there more stability in using wood for the outer collar with insulation (Azek or otherwise) inside?

Azek will cut, route, and sand very much like pine. I make my collars by screwing and gluing together the four sides out of ¾” material then laminating an outside layer of ¾” by clamping for an overall thickness of 1 ½”. This way there are no fasteners exposed on the collar inside or out. Do use their adhesive, I have used regular plumbing PVC cement with Azec but it sets very fast, the Azec glue is much more workable. This stuff holds screws just fine. I used a paddle bit to make my drilled holes, drilling from one side until the point of the bit breaks thru, then finish from the opposite side to prevent chipping on the back side. I use this technique with any material wood or Azek. Azek is much more stable than wood it will not crack, twist or warp, along with it's insulation value it is ideal for this type of use. I am sure that I have a few pieces of this stuff in my shop PM your address to me and I will mail you a small piece.

Not a very good picture, but I insulated mine using 1" Super Tuff-R Brand foil lined insulation, caulk, and foil tape.

Here's a shot of mine - not completed yet - but just stapled some rolled insulation to the inside of the collar to give some added barrier

Here's my insulated collar... two layers of 3/4" foam cut out from a 4'x8' sheet I got at Lowes.

Here's mine.

Spray adhesive and some 1/2" stuff I had lying around. Since it's sheet styro I didn't seal/tape the ends.
