Good point Bob. I should have been more specific: I was using Gatorboard on a 
module to save weight. -Wes

 Wes & All:

Masonite has some advantages over Gatorfoam while the opposite is
    also true.  Masonite, is cheap, thin and bends easily.  Gator is
    pricey, generally thicker and resists bending.  I used a double
    tempered (both sides slick) for around the room as my sky.  I then
    used thin Gator as a removeable view block in my main yard-I slit
    the sheet into 2 x 8's and the two have been standing upright
    totally on their own for years--by this time Masonite would have
    sagged and likely doubled over by now.  I couldn't imagine swapping
    the two.
