Thanks Deeks, the foam looks good. I'll keep hunting for veneer but i might just end up with ply.
introducing..."fingers crossed skateboards" hahaha (hopefully it works)

ohh and it still needs to be fiberglassed havent done that yet!
what do u think????
thanks 2 everyone that gave me advise it really helped, and also reading through the thread, sum great stuff on there!!
thanks guys!!
Hey Thonas - youo're in Vic, right? Melbourne somewhere hopefully... I found a place in Bentleigh East where you can get Extruded Polystyrene foam (perfect for making moulds) if that's what you are after? https://secure.solidsolutions.com.au/view_products.php?cat=65
Veneers are a harder ask in the southern states - you can try 1.5mm ply - the behaviour of the thin ply's is compaprable to veneer - Plyco are good (Mornington and Fairfield) http://www.plyco.com.au/index.php?main_page=index
Didn't feel like making a whole thread for a few question so...
Does anyone know of any places to get various veneers and f250 (molding) foam for a press?
thanks guys! im starting to really get the hang of making boards now. going to try and make a micro drop board soon! but cheers for the support
for sure - he's got the bug!
very nice (as usual) Adam...!
