Regarding boron doped shielding materials, your best bet is to dissolve run-of-the-mill borax into hot water until you achieve a saturated mixture. You can find "20 Mule Team" borax in just about any grocery/convenience store which sells laundry and cleaning supplies. As an FYI, most amateur Fusor devices do not create a high enough neutron flux field that any form of engineered shielding is required. Seasoned fusioneers on this board will tell you that time and distance are more than adequate to keep your dose rate ALARA.
