Thread: Another interior question

Tweet

Many professional upholsterers are using ABS sheet stock now, another "plastic" material". It cuts easily, bends nicely, can be heat formed for more complex shapes, as well as easily glued to form odd pieces, and of course, it's water proof. Never heard of using PVC foam, but then some folks can get real creative when seeking alternatives......or.....you might have heard from someone that doesn't know one "plastic" from another and confused the nomenclatures.

Luan is a decent old school alternative to upholstery board, heck I've still got a couple sheets in the shop. It's sold as "door skin" among other names in the home stores.
