Starboard
 

I need a backing for some cushins, what's the difference between Starboard and Starboard XL (lightweight)? Can I use the lightweight? It's non structural, just need something to staple to.

Re: Starboard
 

Can't answer your question but I have a sheet of 3/4" I'm not going to use. If you need it let me know.

Re: Starboard
 

Yes. I used light for my upholstery backing.

Now I see that have starboard, starboard XL and starlite. Just put in an order for some starlite, 30% lighter than starboard. I also need to build cabinets, was going to use starboard but may use a combination of starboard and starboard XL to save weight. Appearently the XL does not have nice edges like starboard.

I'll let you know, might be too thick for what I need.

Where do you get it? Is there a place local in NJ? Best price I could find was in FL for the Starlite.

I think I bought it from a place in PA. They shipped it FedX freight and I had to pick it up at the FedX warehouse.

I buy it from a place in Orlando called Farco Plastics. It's actually not starboard, but another of the same thing called seaboard. It also comes in light. There is a Farco in Clearwater Florida too.

Just bought the first batch for the cushins at MariSafe. I am still going to need a lot more for all the cabinets. Gotta find the glue too.

Re: Starboard
 

I'm told there is no glue that holds it well. At Farco, they told me that 3M makes an epoxy that somewhat holds it.
