5mm foam centred board

[JohnMcafee]

I'm looking for a foam centred board that is flat and rigid and can be cut by knife, but can't be too easily dented by finger pressure.

The unbranded foam core board I have in stock is soft and easily dented, but foamex is a bit too dense for me to cut on the Excalibur. Is there a brand available that has properties that lie somewhere between the two?

I just got some black foam board in and noticed it seems to be more dense and rigid than the white stuff.

Artcare restore is more rigid than normal foam board, probably due to it being coated with a heat-activated adhesive, but unless you can find a distributor you'll have to buy a box of 25 sheets from Nielsen .... if they deliver to your part of the world.

neofoam or something its called

its very stiff, and doesnt dent very easy but will if your not carefull

Hi j2m, where can I source black foam board from, I like the idea of black foam board for box framed and laminated prints. Is it generally available? Thanks. Ps if it's a special request you have sourced I understand if it's top secret.

Arqadia but before you rush off and buy more than you need Tawnycraft in Northampton sell it single sheet They deliver to your area I am sure or you could drop by and pick some up.

They don't actually list it in their catalogue and I only found out by asking them. Speak to Clive or Karl Tel 01604 792 782

The two toughest foamboards I know are Bienfeng and Foamlite. Bienfeng is very expensive, so I use Foamlite which is cheaper. I buy it in box quantities from Lion.
