        I'm not sure whether we are talking about the same board or
not...but i use black "foam core" all of the time..mostly the finished
product ends up covered in black "photo" tape. The cameras are vary
durable, mine spend most of there lives rattling around in whatever bag
or backpack i am carrying. My only conssesion th the material has been to
mount the pinhole on the inside of the front board. this prevents the hole
to film plane distance from changing, if the front board is compressed
with my standered camera abuse.
