I also used a spray adhesive (can't remember if it was 404 or CraftBond) to attach batting to my 3 insulation sheets, and secured the edges with Duct tape.
As noted above, they need to be resecured, and I will use Gorilla tape this time.
Thanks for the tip.
But even the Duct taped lasted for a couple of years.
I used the 3/4" boards - they are sturdy enough to stand on their own without sagging, and they're covered on both sides.
I didn't want to deal with the styrofoam pieces crumbling over time.
The cost was under $12 each.
Out of all the quilting related contraptions and notions and equipment I've bought over the years, the boards were certainly the most bang for the buck.
My boards are always up so I luckily don't have to worry about storage.
