Cathedral ProductsWhite 5mm Foamboard - A3 Size (297 x 420mm) - Pack of 10

This foam board arrived well-packaged in a sturdy cardboard box, ensuring everything was in perfect condition. A nice touch was the inclusion of extra foam core pieces to protect the corners. Not only did they serve their intended purpose, but they also turned out to be great for testing different craft materials like paints and sprays before applying them to the larger boards.The board itself is lightweight yet firm, making it easy to cut, shape, and work with. Whether you’re using it for model-making, mounting prints, or general crafting, it holds up well and takes paint smoothly without warping. The surface is also clean and consistent, which is great for achieving a professional finish.Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone needing reliable foam board, with the added bonus of extra material for testing or smaller projects. Definitely worth picking up if you’re into crafting, model work, or display projects.

These foam core or foam board sheets are perfect for crafting board game inserts, here are some of my tips to use them for this purpose.Just grab yourself a metal ruler (better if steel edged and with rubber or cork bottom) - I recommend the WEDO 50cm cutting ruler which has a nice steel side whilst being made of nicely rigid aluminium and with great rubberized bottom grips.Also get a self-healing cutting mat - an ANSIO craft A2 is what I got and it is great.Any utility knife (stanley knife) is great, I use a silverline 18mm one and I am happy, cost me nothing with plenty of replacement blades.In terms of cutting technique, for clean cuts I really recommend the single pass technique rather than the multi-pass I see many recommend online and on youtube... they are rubbish.Just start cutting holding the blade at 45° as if scouring the matt and well against the steel cutting edge of the ruler. If the blade (and it will) starts being less than sharp, just snap a section and it will produce again nicely clean cuts of paper sides and foam core.To glue it all together any PVA glue works perfectly fine... do not waste money on fancy glues.An additional tool which I may get, to make precise 90° cuts is a straight edge triangular ruler... but with some attention you can do without... and frankly, truly perfect 90° cuts are not necessary for board game inserts.Otherwise the sheets are packaged well, they are sturdy and good quality, no smell or anything... can be a bit dusty, so I recommend a good vacuum after use as some of the foam will crate a bit of particulate, but nothing tragic... just large dust and debris, not extreme fine dust.

I would first like to say that the product is of high quality and very sturdy. However, you should NOT buy this product if you are intending to use it in an aquarium or any other water environment.I bought the boards to build a frame for an aquarium (onto which I glued rocks).Within a week of filling up the aquarium I noticed that the black ink used to dye the laminated boards black was separating from the paper, causing the water to turn brown! I wiped the boards with a tissue and got loads of black ink off.Needless to say I've drained the aquarium and thankfully hadn't yet put anything living in there.

I recently purchased the Cathedral A1 Foam Board White (Pack of 10) and I am very impressed with the quality of the boards. They are 5mm thick, which is the perfect thickness for my projects, providing a sturdy base for mounting and displaying my artwork. The boards are also very smooth and consistent in texture, which makes it easy to cut and work with. The white color is also very clean and the boards are very easy to paint or print on. The pack of 10 is also very convenient, it's a great value, and I have enough boards to last me a while. I would highly recommend these foam boards to anyone looking for a high-quality and versatile material for their projects.

Whether you're using these as a backboard for something, or to paint in, they do a good job.

This is a pack of ten A3 foam boards, coated on both sides, 5mm thick, and suitable for mounting artwork on for display and presentation. It's supplied in a good, solid box which is eminently reusable -- important, because it's actually quite hard to safely transport foam board.You can use this kind of stuff a few times before you have to chuck it away -- if you use repositionable spray glue then you'll be able to remove artwork fairly easily, but the corners and edges will gradually deteriorate as they get bashed against things. Even if you use permanent glue, you can still get a few uses out of them. All that said, it's fairly important that these are reasonably cheap to buy.One final tip. If you're gluing to one side of this, you need to glue the same stock to the other side, otherwise the glue on the one side will pull the board into a curve, which never looks very professional.Decent value, good product, recommended.

Orders for use in photo studio for reflection and the only worry I had was if these would survive the journey being fragileJust 4 were slightly damaged on a corner and won’t matter but if it had not been for the excellent packing it would have been a disaster .The boards are perfect for many things but for my purposesFirst class

The product comes very well packaged, looks well made and for general craft is probably a very good product. Unfortunately, the paper covering is very difficult to remove in one piece and the remnants are difficult to get off without damaging the foam making it less suitable for shaping to make some model aeroplanes.
