scott,
i've helped my son make some decks, and we used 1/8" ply. the 1/8" ply should be available at lumber yards or plywood specialty places. we used 3 "layers" which allowed for some flex. on a longer board, however, i did break the deck, granted i was trying to wheel a large television down stairs on the board! lesson learned...maybe for longer boards, try 4 layers??? One thing i've wanted to do, but my son hasn't made a deck for some time now, is to use the fine wood veneers to create the faces of the decks.
can you tell me a little about the forms that you make? what is this "rigid building insulation", where do you get it, and how are you shaping it?
hope this helps...
