As you can see most of us use all three. However what you use to make the formers is, at least for me more important then how I make them. I personally gave up on using found card stock over a decade ago. You may have run across discussions on making your own .5 and 1 mm card stock by gluing 2 and 4 sheets of 60-67 lb cover stock with 3M 77 spray glue. This takes a little effort but well worth the effort. The finished stock is quite dense and easy to sand and best of all you don’t end up with a fuzzy edge from sanding. I hate to say it but working with it is very much like working with styrene plastic.
