Hi everyone, I was so happy with this I wanted to try and share it. http://youtu.be/nBb6l2YW-F4100% I recently cleared out the old display at the ''Native Cell'' in the Newcastle Gaol Museum in Toodyay.

"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…"

"God, I haven't thought about that paper for years. Yes, I wrote that one. The Archaeo dept at UWA should have a copy, or at the very least, Al Paterson the Professor should have one."

"Sorry for the late response, only just came across this forum. Thought I'd post a response anyway as others may find it helpful. I would suggest looking at DIBOND Panels, we have had great success with this product."

"Some of the panels may need to support artefact boxes. I'm not sure how much weight Foamcore can take."

"what about Foamcore. It is lightweight and durable, but depends on what iit is supporting and size."

Moss, I hope you remember me from Arch 101 at UWA - Karri Graham back then we used to debate nordic ancestry over lunch!

UWA will sell me one for $137.50 which i feel is a bit steep for a student, it was Alistair who recommended i read it.... so i will ask him if he has a copy. if not i will buy it.
