I still say install the board and brush some resin on it to help seal and keep its shape. Humidity kills cardboard Looking good tho.

Tracy,
I appreciate that comment and I will put some resin & cloth on them today. It stands to reason that if spraying water on the panel made it so easy to bend then it is going to soften, and maybe move around over time with humidity. A coat of resin front & back will solve that, plus I can smooth out the front with some selective layers of cloth!

Tracy, are you suggesting to use fiberglass mat and resin over the cardboard to make the panel? If you were going to mount a stereo speaker in the panel, how thick should the finished 'glass panel be?
Mike

Mike, I may steal that speaker idea, too! From my experience so far two or three layers of cloth, nominal 3/32" to 1/8" finished thickness is plenty for a speaker, IMHO, but Tracy's th' man on glass!!
