Q1 : What is Gatorboard/ Gatorfoam? Lightweight and easy to use, Gatorfoam board is an extruded polystyrene foam mounting board encased between layers of a melamine and wood fiber veneer. Gatorfoam/Gatorboard has a harder outer surface than other foam core boards and resists warping. For miniature builders, Gatorboard is often used as a backing for wet materials like paperclay or stucco finishes which require a water resistant backing while the coating dries. Gatorboard is more durable than foam core boards and is a good choice for non archival applications, where strength and light weight are important. It is not suitable for archival applications. Gatorfoam or Gatorboard is most often sold for mounting photographs or short term mounting of art for displays and is Produced by Alcan Inc.
