I've been using a drummers' trap case to haul some props and thought that its' lightweight paper/fiber material would be an ideal covering for the sides and back of a portable table I'm designing. Does anyone know what this material is? I've always called it fiberboard, but when I ask the hardware store guys or a building supplier, they think of the heavy plywood-type composite. This stuff is more like really thick paper, but is extremely stiff, waterproof, light and can handle rivets.

I even call a music store and they refer to it as 'fiberboard' as well.

Any ideas?

I just did a Google search of fiberboard and several sites popped up. I'd bet you find something among them.

Try a sign painters' supply house.

I think I saw it before in roles from a silk-screen supplier catalog.

Good Luck!
