Compact cardboard board, 305 × 38 mm and 1.40 mm thick. Being compact it doesn't split into layers: designed for water-based impregnation.
Solid cardboard strip, 305 × 38 mm and 1.40 mm thick, sold singly.
Cardboard in one single piece, not glued in layers. It is a thin absorbent support: it drinks the liquid and holds it inside the board itself.
01 · SOLID OR LAMINATED
The two strips measure the same and look alike, but they behave in opposite ways with liquid. That is the whole difference.
| Solid (this one) | Laminated |
|---|---|
| One single piece · absorbs and holds it inside · 1.40 mm. | Glued in layers · closed surface, holds it on top · 1.75 mm. |
02 · HANDLING
Dry it needs no care. Soaked it loses stiffness and has to be lifted from the middle, not by one end. And a warning customers have passed on to us, which we would rather you read here: even though the board is solid, the surface can lift if it gets very saturated or is handled wet. If you need it to hold together soaked, try one before preparing a batch.
03 · BEFORE YOU BUY
Sold singly, not in packs. And check which of the two strips you need before ordering: they are named almost the same, they measure the same and they do not do the same thing.
