A lot of us use corrugated board from home depot. I buy the stick on numbers also in home depot.

Here's my simple solution.
Cutout plastic board from HD, strapped onto the rails with velcro strips. The edges of the plastic are trimmed with hockey tape.
(My first set was actually laser-printed paper glued to the plastic, but I went for vinyl for this set.)

Like I said: simple. There are a couple of artists around here that have stunning plates, so feel free to get creative.

You can do a search on the Home Depot site:

http://www.homedepot.com/b/Building-Materials-Glass-Plastic-...

Then change the store to your local one and it should tell you which products are available locally to you and what aisle/bay it's in.

Once you have cut the corrugated plastic, don't skimp on trimming it as the edge can be left sharp enough to cut/nick you.

ATB,
Sam
