Fernando, you could try Sintra PVC foam sheets. Do a search and you should find a few suppliers

I've looked all over for a product called Herex which is what many manufacturers use in Europe and I belive it is what CA uses. I can't find it any where in the 1/16" or 1/8" thickness any where. If you find some let me know.

I did try a product that was a PVC type, I think it was called Sintra but I'm not 100% sure about it. The Epoxy wouldn't stick to the sample pieces I had so I threw them out and the 1/16" piece I had was dificult to bend and wouldn't have worked.

Thanks for the info
I have been searching on the web and I found a few sources of PVC sheets but nobody make them on 2mm tickness.
I will try to contact composite-ARF directly.

Regards
