Where did you get the FT foamboard from?
And also could you write the names of thre other foamboards you are using?

We should all put a dollar in the hat and ship you the Readi-Board from Dollar Tree, see what you think.

Ha.ha. One of the bad things with the FT boards, its if doing a minor adjustemnt after some og the part is glued, for sure you get a wrinkle.
The types ive tried otherweis in Europa dont, you can try shape it extra a little and no wrinkle if not a big adjustment.

you wants a tinted canopy...and only thing you have is clear plastic.... Clear laquor with just a small drop or two eg. black, into and sprayed on inside, will make a tinted effect on the windows

This thread is great. I enjoy learning all the different techniques that everyone uses when building and thinking of ways to incorporate them into future designs/projects. Thanks @leaded50 !

The FT foamboards ive got, was from a guy giving up, bought the box in Norwegian shop. My usual type foamboard used doesnt have a name, only thats delivered by a company called "Panduro".

Thanks, getting foamboard is constant pain in the neck. I actually ordered a box of FT board from US but the price more than doubles on the way . Also if you prefer different brand maybe I need to broaden my horizons. I checked the Panduro website but my Swedish is pretty much nonexistent at the moment. Guess I'll need to check local hobby shops.
