    The picture looks like the 3/4" foam that Lowes sells, not 1/4" as described in the ad.

    Could be the picture is just the wrong picture for the item mentioned.

    The price coincides with the bundled 26 sheet 1/4" FFF we normally use, but the picture is that of the 3/4 single sheet foam that sells for around $12.

    That is Dow BlueCor Protection Board (FFF) that you see in a lot of M&T's videos. That is the same thing I buy locally from Lowes. If you look at the Phrosty I cut pictured in the Announcements section (top of the forum main page) you can see some of the markings on it.

    Lowes reuses that same picture for a lot of the blue foam.

    Ive never used FFF before, never been able to find it locally, so Ive been spoiled by depron, I did some searching on The PB but found little info, I beleive it has the skin on only 1 side but can u tell me if this is the wavy stuff? Im hoping to use it for prototyping new planes-

    Thanks, fred

    If it has the skin one one side (very likely) it will be wavy
    skin on 2 sides has some much smaller waves in it,
    I really like the new greenguard that lowes is stocking for prototyping

    Jeff is right. The item you linked has skin on one side and is wavy. The bundle I am using right now has a big enough wave near the end that it lifted the pressure roller and completely cleared the drive roller.

    I added sand to the pressure roller for weight and even the wavy stuff cuts fine now.
