I do not know how many of you know about the Dollar Tree Foam Board. The foam board is 20x30 inches and about 5mm (.187 in) It has a paper backing which peels off rather easy. You can leave it on but it is 1 ounce per paper side, don't remember the weight before you peel off the foam or after (I will weight it if anybody is interested and post it here). It is great to draw on but if you need light peel it off. The foam reminds me of the older Cell Foam. It has a satin finish...

Spritz it on the printing and it simply wipes off, I recommend cleaning the printing off before you cut your parts as it can run down to the edge of your cut part making your edges black.
