I used FRP in the X-PB which my son now has. Sure 'nuff, like JR said, I
thought the sound proofing was great! And for KenB, it will be PERFECT!
:-)
Seriously, the carpet covered tile board (from Lowes/HD) I used for my
ceiling and walls is probably the best choice of all. WIth the melamine
coated surface out, it's almost as impervious to water as FRP. And the
semi-porous "brown"/down side cooperates wonderfully with contact cement.
It's main drawback is that it's probably 3-4 times as heavy as FRP. Its
rigidity makes up for that, IMHO.
