If you go to a "big box store" like Home Depot or Menards and give them the dimensions you want, they will cut a piece of plywood for you and you don't have to wait for DH for 3 years and 10 minutes to do it!! Secondly, use "outdoor" plywood and the steam won't affect it for many, many years. Foil would work I guess if you are concerned but I have had the large piece to put over my regular board now for about 5 years and I haven't noticed any issues with it. I did use one layer of insul-brite and I believe one layer of warm and natural batting but I think just one layer only might be better. Too much cushion and one does not get as sharp of a pressing ability. I have read where some gals like just like one layer of upholstry fabric only so you have a very hard surface for pressing. I guess a lot of it is personal preference.
