You don’t need to buy a $2,000 pallet from a composite distributor. Look for:
- Art Supply Stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby): Foam Board (Polystyrene core with paper liners). Great for architectural models and photography reflectors.
- Home Improvement Stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s): Foamular or Pink Panther (Extruded Polystyrene – XPS). Excellent for shaping with a hot wire to make RC plane wings or cosplay armor.
- Marine Supply Outlets (West Marine): Small sheets of Marine-Grade PVC (e.g., Divinycell offcuts) for boat repair projects.
