Homasote is a dinosaur that is rarely used any more because of the added weight it produces on the layout. Most folks are going with blue or pink foam board because it's lightweight and you can carve,shape and cut into it soooooo easily. I went into Home Depot and Lowes to look for Homasote and they only carry it around Christmas when most people by it ...for guess what? LOL .Homasote was used by contractors as sub-flooring over the plywood to reduce noise when you walked on it. Worked great in its heyday but even the builders don't use anymore and prefer corkboard instead.Thats why you can't find it at any of the major chains.Try a local mom and pop outfit or 84 Lumber if you really want to use it. I suggest you go with the foam for price, durability , flexibility,and its sooooo damm ez to use.
