[SML] 1/4" tempered hardboard?

[Steven Hood]

Another option might be thin plyron, though that might be a special order, 
too. I think the thinnest it comes is about 3/8" or 7/16". Yet another 
option might MDO, mostly used by sign makers, from what I understand.
What's the intended use? If smooth and double-sided are the only criteria, 
22-gauge sheet metal meets them. Or foam-core. There are lots of options 
out there, including plastics.
