How thick is the coroplast boards you are using? I'm finding it online in 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm thick.
Thanks!

I am intrigued by the idea of the coroplast boards but also concerned about chemicals in the plastic damaging the fabric longterm. Does anybody know the answer to this? Also - same question regarding acids in the comic book boards.

"The name Coroplast applies to a wide range of extruded twinwall plastic sheet products produced from a high impact polypropylene copolymer. Coroplast uses a copolymer resin in order to increase impact and low temperature performance. Chemically, the sheet is inert, with a NIL pH factor."
