Re: [AMC-list] cardboard panels

Sign shops often use black ABS board in signage. It won't rot and some care and steel wool will take away any glare or spray it with fusion in a satin black. * Over size the holes and yes it may buckle a bit as it expands and contracts, but it won't fail. * For my door panels I used birch underlayment plywood. I cut and fitted it. Three coats of poly on BOTH sides of the panels and they remain perfectly flat and even after 10+ years. * Remember if you treat one side of anything porous, treat both sides or the piece will buckle from moisture getting into the untreated side. ----- Original Message -----
