RE: [Digital BW] Re: Foam Core: The Good Stuff is Acid Free

Hello Vinny,

I don't have the catalog with me now.  Will look for it and post the info in
a day. Keep an eye on this thread subject.

Also...you may be able to find this stuff in a large art supply store that
caters to professional graphic designers.  My source is a wholesale
distributor who carries dozens of types of tapes useful for photo and
framing industry.
