This is my second board. I block my watercolor paper on it to keep it from buckling. Lightweight and easy to handle. Very smooth finish on both sides and masking tape stays until I remove it with the help of a heat gun. My first one I used almost daily for a year and it is just like new. I bought this one larger than the last. It will get plenty of use. With use and plenty of wet on wet techniques there has been no warping, easy to clean and very sturdy

I use these, not to paint on directly, but to tape acrylic or multi-media paper to for painting. I've had the first one for several months and have not seen any warping yet, so I ordered 2 more so that I can work on multiple paintings at the same time.

Nice and smooth on both sides along with being very stiff. Use it to make templates for woodworking.

I find the board to be sturdy and I like the smooth surface. It's a good size for table top use for water color, pen, and pencil.

Just bought a $4K foldable laptop! Works great, EXCEPT - the stand part of the keyboard folio keeps falling over. Used this panel, together with a phone cradle of all things, to build my own. Sturdy & looks great as well!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any craft or Do-It-Yourself projects!

It’s very smooth, light and solid. I have it set up on my easel to give support to my different artists substrate for sketching and drawing

自作のコタツのヒーター裏の部分の耐熱材として使用するために購入しました。ニューヨークから直送便で届くため、納期は2週間以上かかります。非常に硬いです。カッターで切断したので同じところを何回も繰り返して刃を当てないと切れませんでしたがなんとか切れました。コタツに使用してみると、ハードボードは熱くはなりますが、布団が焦げることもボードが変形することもなく、性能は非常に良いと判断しました。

Quality item, with smooth finish to the wood frame, & mitered corners that align well. Surface of the hardbord was very smooth, flat, level.I used this to mount a watercolor painting, which was first sealed with spray synthetic damar varnish. Makes a nice contemporary look. I used a strip frame for it, but it could easily go without a formal frame if you finished the edges first with either paint, stain, or sealer.At first look, it seems an expensive way to go, but if you consider that there is no need for a frame (or a mat, if watercolors), then it really is a good buy. Saves both $ and time.
