    I can’t remember the thread, but someone was talking about trying to find some corrugated polystyrene like GoLite uses.

    I found some at TAP Plastics. 2’x4′ sheet for $5.50. The corrugations run in the 2′ direction. They had some 4×8 sheets, but I don’t remember the price.

    I also found some tubes, epoxy and wound filament, light and stiff. Don’t know how it compares to carbon fiber, but I picked up a couple of lengths of it. $3 for 2′ or 3′ length. They had varying diameters too.

    Could you just use some expired political election signage? That stuff is “coroplast”–a corrugated plastic. I’ve used it to stiffen the bags I use on my bike.

    I’m sure its the same stuff. And, its the season! ;-)

    Problem is, do you trust a politician behind your back for that long?
