Default Re: Grey insulating cardboard

Yes, "Elephantide"

The use of ordinary cardboard is fraught with danger.

In damp/humid climes, it can absorb moisture and not only become conductive but it also promotes corrosion when in contact with metallic surfaces.

If you really, absolutely, must use cardboard, soak it in varnish or shellac and let it dry thoroughly before use.
