The foam "core" in foamcoare [;)] will not warp, but be careful of the paper coating! It will warp enough to bend the whole thing.... You are better off with the <b>extruded</b> foam, as many have pointed out. The expanded white stuff (sometimes called beadboard, of just styrofoam) has its uses in landscaping and so on. Just don't use it for "benchwork" as it is not nearly as strong as the pink or blue extruded foam. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
