Looks like the MDF is going to be too heavy for my need. The closed cell foam board mentioned, what is that exactly and where is it available?

I was thinking yesterday about the white synthetic board that people are using now for small campaign signs, where they slide a metal support up into it, between the front and back layer, and push the metal legs into the ground. It's stable, lightweight, and shouldn't be expensive. If it's available in thicker sheets it would be better, maybe 3/8". Anybody know what it's called? Probably available through a sign shop.

If this thread is the result of senility, why have yOu replied on it more times than any one else? Mull that one over for awhile.

yOu're constantly shooting yOurself in the foot, and can't learn better. Senility, or just stUpid?

There are several well known brands of closed cell insulation board that have a nice flat surface and are tougher than Styrofoam. Yet they are only marginally heavier than Styrofoam, which is considered an open cell insulation. There is the blue Dow insulation board and the Owens Corning pink insulation board that comes in various thicknesses. They are made from extruded polystyrene, and it cuts nicely with a razor sharp utility knife. Then there is also the DuPont Tuff-R brand that is usually a bit more expensive. It is aluminum foil faced polyisocyanurate. Here up north, they are available at most lumber yards. Naturally, being a light foam material, the surface can be dented fairly easily. I've joined it to itself or other surfaces using spray foam insulation such as minimal expanding Great Stuff. If you wanted to get fancy, you could dress it up a bit and protect the edges from abuse by making a simple frame out of MDF or other molding.

Stan, if you want to laminate it to something flat, stiff, and light, look at Wedi Board or one one its knockoffs. Wedi is a foamcore backer board used for tile and stone installations. It's relatively light, waterproof, and very stable. Both faces are smooth and it comes in 4x8x1/2" sheets, and I think it also comes in 3x5x1/2" sheets. Two 3x5s might be perfect for the map size, using a couple of wood strips across the back to hold them together and act as hanging strips. Wedi has a proprietary adhesive for gluing the stuff together, edge to edge.

Thanks Replacement. I'll check on it next time I'm near a building supply.
