FoamBoard vs Plywood

Instead of using plywood, consider 1/8 " lauan as an for your sub-base material with your foam attached to the lauan. Anything heavier is overkill. I have used this successfully in several shelfstyle layouts. If you use 1 x 4 pine boards as your framing material and glue and screw the lauan to the framing, you end up with rigid light weight benchwork. Then simply use foamboard adhesive to hold the foamboard to the lauan.
