They sell fabrics and art materials and stickers and stuff like that.

Target might have it but it's more likely to be found at a craft type store.

I have a Michaels near me.. If i just ask for black foam board will they know what I mean?

They should.

It is a pretty common item. I found it in an assortment of colors at walmart right next to the poster board (foam board is 2 sheets of poster board sandwiching a foam core).

Why make it difficult on  yourself?   Simply tape up a nice square in the middle of your plexi/glass bezel and spray paint around the edges from the back side...

That's what I did here....

Painting the back side of the glass does look really nice.  But, if you are trying to hide the edges of your display, that won't really help (of course, any flat insert like foam core will have the same issue).

I did the same as what frizzlefried was refering...It does look nice...to hide my edges...I bought some wood molding from Lowes and glued them around the outer edge of the pexi...



Hard to see it from the photo...but it just regular half round floor molding....saved me a bunch of money on my car insurance...
syph007:
Anyone have any good tips on how to cut the foam board on each side to match the profile of a curved crt?  I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I cant think of one.  I don't have a large contour gauge or anything similar.
