Tony,
Polyurethane rigid foam sheet is usually what is used for bulkheads,
etc. Probably 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. It is extremely easy to shape
with hand tools (saw, knife, abrasives, etc.), but do not hot-wire as it
produces cyanide gas when vaporized.
If you can not get the thickness material you need from ACS, you can try
McMaster-Carr. Shipping weight for the material isn=92t an issue but
packaging bulk is.

Can someone please remind me of the name of a material I can buy from
ACS that can be used as a substrate for a small reinforcement bulkhead
within a wing fairing? I don't mean foam, if someone with a sense of
humour might suggest, but something cloth on both sides will stick
to,well,,and ideally is only 1/8-1/4" in thickness.
Thanks in anticipation.

Tony Renshaw.
P.S. It's just dawned on me, we have used balsa as such a medium, but I
think there is a purpose specific board.
