Waterproof cardboard?It's called Door Panel Cardboard available at automotive upholstery / fabric supply shops.
Black waterproof treated cardboard that you can sew with an upholstery sewing machine. Takes contact adhesive / fabric adhesives well. Can even roll your fabric over the edge and staple it with the short 3/16" staples at an angle.
I know Pyramid Trim Products in St. Paul, MN has it.

lol "doorskin" plywood. Door skin for HOUSES!
It bends easily enough, it's easy to cut with a boxcutter, light and stiff for it's thickness. I've used it for making molds at work.
I did them in 1988 my son was 3 1/2 years old in that picture. He is now 37 years old. They were for my 62 Polara convertibleView attachment 1715934587
