Hello, My old source for 18" x 24" x 1/4" white painted Masonite panels has dried up. Does anyone else know of a source for them? I need about three dozen panels.
Thanks, Mike Jackson

Hi Joe, Around here Abiti Shower Board costs a little over $20 for a sheet. It is only about 1/8" thick, and finished only on one side. It is great for quick or temporary interior signs, but would need painting and sealing on the edges and back. Additionally, we haven't had good luck with paint sticking to it for very long. The finish is too slick for the paint, but vinyl works fine. Since the panels go in 18 x 24" real estate frames to be used as jump numbers and sponsors for a steeple chase, it is easier for me to just buy the prefinished and precut panels. The cost isn't an issue, because the client pays for them.
Thanks for the note, Mike Jackson

Hey Mike, I like the idea of those panels- sounds much nicer for certain jobs than the marlite I usually use. I use it for "dry-erase" type signs for a big factory near Pittsburgh. Just clean it real good, apply vinyl, & wax it with Pledge! It goes against a wall, so the back is not seen. Love- JILL
