Tried 4 different foam core brands for game inserts, one was way better
Last month I was making inserts for my copy of Terraforming Mars and went through like 4 different foam core brands from different craft stores. Elmer's from Joann was super soft and bent just from the box cutter pressure. The cheap stuff from Dollar Tree was even worse, kept crumbling on the edges. But the Grafix brand at Hobby Lobby held up way better, cuts clean and doesn't shred when you sand it. Has anyone else noticed big differences between foam core brands for this stuff?

Man that's rough. I had almost the exact same thing happen with the Elmer's stuff from Joann, felt like cutting through wet cardboard and the edges looked like a mess after. The Grafix from Hobby Lobby is definitely a step up, I grabbed a sheet on a whim and was surprised how much cleaner the cuts were. Dollar Tree foam core is basically just for kids crafts, not for anything that needs to hold up straight. Glad it's not just me who noticed the big gap between brands.
