Julie,

I have glued wood to it with Liquid Nails. Pleine air painters use it a lot because it is so portable.

It costs about $200 a sheet locally, $80-$90 on line, but the shipping is about $100, so it kills the savings somewhat.

You do not need a middle brace as it is quite stable.

Thanks, Sharon! I guess I will have to research who might sell it in the Atlanta area, if anyone.

Julie and Sharon, I have a big sheet of Alumalite and I might try this BEVA application. (By the way, the Alumalite was around $95 for a 4' x 8' sheet from a local wholesaler, delivery included.)
