Default Headliner backing?

Glenn,
Door skin is usually there somewhere, but it is more often labled luan
underlayment. This stuff is three layer really thin (1/8 - 3mm)
plywood. Underlayment can often be gotten with exterior glue.

When you go to cut it, you may do better with a mat knife than a saw as
the surface cracks and splinters in preference to cutting.

If you go to a real lumberyard, they may have "door skin" which is often
provided varished and protected on the good side.

Most of the door skin in my rack actualy fell off old hollow core
interior doors.

Have you gotten a case of the "going together screamies"?
Good Luck,

Matt Colie
