Finding chip board

[EvilTessmacher]

Thanks for the replies, but laminating isn't an option, and I refuse to do it. I prefer to have the skeleton of builds being solid parts, rather than multiple layers that can (and do) de-laminate.

I guess I'll have to keep looking.

Then you better build with plastic
...since card and cardboard are layered materials!

Only reason your parts would delaminate, is if you don't laminate properly in the first place.
I have thousands of laminated parts in dozens of models, and delamination is not a problem.

Sounds more like you just want cheap and easy.

You've already been given one laminating solution...3M Spray 77
Get that, and a brayer roller (under $5) and follow the gluing instructions on the can.
Only thing to worry about is Floods and Tornadoes.

Much as I hate to do it, laminating works best. It's time consuming but it produces sturdy results. I also find it easier to cut than single, thick board.

I've used white glue, 77 spray adhesive and permanent glue sticks - all with great results. Just burnish firm with a brayer or a flat burnisher (like a bondo spreader) and let it set up.

However, especially for those in the U.S., rest assured you are not wrong to call it chip board.

At the Walmart online store you can type in chipboard and get packs of 12" x 12" in quantities of 25. They have them available in black, white, and natural color.

look for "book-binding supplies" or "book-binding cardboard", maybe that's the ideal material you need

Any print shop that does custom forms or writing tablets for customers. Such as things like estimating forms for "Joe's Auto Body" and the like. Just be ready for strange looks :D
