One sheet will build a SukaLyn or will build 2 And Nows or 1 1/2 Drenalyns. We will be kitting the SukaLyn for $50. That will be the Depron with parts traced on, a constuction CD with pics and all the hardware hand built.

Status: offline 		you can always go to a hobby lobby type craft store or an office max and buy foam board. I recommend the craft store, foam board is very expensive at office stores. Soak the foamboard for 24hrs then peel the paper off and there's your depron

A SukaLyn built from Fanfold weighed twice as much as one from Depron. Fanfold is great for electic pizza-boxes but he SukaLyn is too big. Depron is still the best answer. I don't mind paying a bit more to get a foam that is light and strong and stiff.
