I voted for 1/4". I'd rather have cleanly built tiles for all of my future layouts. Going with 3/16 would be a mistake because regardless of what Denny intended, too much of TLX depends on the assumption that finished tiles are 1/4" thick. Sure, 3/16" doesn't affect functionality, but it's easier to get a clean build with 1/4" mounts. You might as well ride the horse across the finish line and use the optimal thickness for the mounts. While I understand the attachment people have to labor already invested in older 3/16" tiles, it needs to be pointed out that replacing what you've already built is going to be an order of magnitude easier when the need to spray-mount and cut new foamcore is eliminated completely from the equation. I mean, it's not like you have to cut out new mounts, right? You're just breaking them off a frame and wrapping a tile around it, and tiles are easy to cut by hand. If you have a machine cutter, it's at least another order of magnitude easier because you don't even have to cut the tiles out by hand. You also don't even have to replace any walls, roofs, or posts that you've already built--the only thing being replaced are the tiles. -Mel |

I am not sure what the thickness I have been using here in Oz but I am happy to go the 1/4" assuming it doesn't bump up the price too much. Graham |

Sorry for picking the incredibly helpful "beige" option, but ordering physical products from across the atlantic really isn't an option. Customs makes sure of that.

I voted 1/4", for having nice flat builds, but that isn't exactly my reason, just the closest. I would like 1/4" because it is easier for me to glue (which I am poor at). As for the dozen or two 3/16" I have, it would not be difficult to remove the card-stock or to simply replace. |
