As a cheap alternative to MDF, Arqadia are releasing a compressed kraft cardboard on Monday that they have had made for non conservation backing - seems to be strong, sturdy, easy to cut and no dust. I think it will be around £1.10 per sheet or cheaper for a pallet - part no 999000118 or 999118000. ...
