New to stripping - form material, glue selection?

Well, I took the plunge, and ordered one of Nick's Little Auk plans...What is the "best" material for the forms?(I'll be using staples, so staples should adhere well to the material's endgrain.) Also, is there any concensus on the best glue to use?(I'm considering using Gorilla glue, or some similar brand; it's waterproof, and I like the way it sands so easily.) Any comments? Thanks in advance!
