There are a few "zero-formaldehyde" MDF manufacturers like Z-mdf. i think all are imported from O/S (thus alot more $). The Powerhouse Museum workshop dosen't like it as much as its harder to work. Not sure where to get it but…

By the way I have used DIBOND in my industry (military) and it has supported some quite hefty weights for significant periods of time. The cost is higher than foamcore or MDF, but it performs better. Can't vouch for the acid leak as we…

Best materials for mounting display panels
