As I understand it one of the big benifits of sign foam is that it is stable. The biggest piece of Azek I have on hand is only 12" x 5.5" so I'm not sure it will make for a good test. A trip to the lumber yard in order I think (all in the name of science).
    Here is a welcome plaque I did for a client two years ago. ( carved from 3/4" Azek ) They have it mounted outside their front entry door exposed to the elements. It has held up very well.
