Questions & Answers
The instructions, in fact, count as one item, according to the description. So there are four boards, one sheet of iron paper, and one sheet of instructions!
I don't have them in my immediate vicinity to determine, but "standard" seems appropriate. I recall being unable to create a 30x30 sprite using only one block.
Is the pegboard made of Perler beads, and do you use them? There are similar brands, but the dimensions vary by brand.br>If you're using Perler brand beads, this pegboard should suffice.

Instead, take a look at this piece. Isn't that a fantastic idea? For larger projects, get four pieces that connect together so you don't have to store a huge tray! Except, if you're like me and my daughter, you'll probably start your project at the kitchen table or a designated craft area, then move it to a safe place to iron and cool, such as the kitchen counter or a washroom with an ironing board. We don't have a designated crafting area; instead, we do crafts at the dining table, which is located in the center of a large room. While an extension cord would allow us to reach, there are other factors to consider: Wooden table, puppy, kid is 5 1/2, so I'd rather have adults do the hot stuff and leave it to cool where she can't reach, etc. br>Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yeah. sooooo. They INTERLINK rather than connect (i. e. (It's like picking up a puzzle after it's been completed and watching it fall apart). So BE ON THE LOOKOUT. If you get this, make sure you can iron where you work on your project; if not, I recommend getting the one-piece version. Large pegboards are available in a variety of sizes. Because of this, I've given it a low rating. What's the point if they don't connect? Even if I'm wrong about ironing where you craft, they can easily shift apart, ruining your project; I'm going to call that lame quality because the part where they link should AT LEAST prevent that from happening easily.
They will warp if the heat is not dispersed. I've discovered that placing a fan next to your project will help to cool it down after it's finished, as well as placing it under a heavy book or something similar. However, once they've become warped, there's little that can be done to correct them.
It's a good pegboard, but it's prone to warping over time, and I haven't yet found one that isn't. I now simply use masking tape to remove the beads from the boards and iron them off. Check out the description as well. This is not a two-person game. 8 boards and 4 papers are included in this pack (as of February 2018). It's for a single pack of four boards, each with two sheets of paper. The listing is still not fixed on Amazon.
My kids loved having a bigger board to work on, but when we ironed their beads, we were all disappointed. Unlike our other perler boards, this clear plastic is sensitive to the heat of the iron and rises in the middle when heated (it also becomes cloudy, which is further evidence that it is reacting to the heat, unlike our small solid colored boards). When you finish ironing, the board will be warped, with a hump in the middle, and will not lay flat on the surface beneath it. It flattens out as it cools, but we've discovered that our creations don't, because they cool much faster and retain the shape of the board once the ironing is finished. We've tried peeling them off right away (oops, they're still not flattening) and leaving them on the board until it cools and flattens. I bought these for a larger perler bead project that we wanted to turn out nicely, but I'm glad we played around with it first so we know it won't turn out nice and flat like all of our smaller boards. I'm not sure why they switched from a heat-resistant plastic to a heat-resistant plastic for the boards!.
Half of my order was warped when it arrived, but it was still usable. My purchase has met my expectations in general. What others have said about warping caused by ironing. Yes, that is correct. I used a low heat setting and ironed the beads onto the pegboard, but they still warped. It also caused the beads to fuse unevenly, forcing me to scrap the entire project. Beware! The only way to fix these is to use masking tape, which takes a long time. However, I believe that this is the case with all pegboards. I've read numerous reviews on various pegboards, and they've all warped; however, Perler appears to be the leading brand, with pegboards arriving warped in the package (as mine did). I'm hoping to find a metal pegboard or something similar that will not warp one day. It would be a lot less difficult.
There are a lot of issues with this perler bead peg board because of the price tag. br>1. There were no instructions included in the package.
2. My boards were slightly warped when I first took them out of the box.
3. When you tried to connect the four boards, they didn't match up properly.
4. My pegboard had an uneven distribution of pegs, with some being tall and others being short, and two or three being completely missing. br>5. My iron was set to the lowest setting, and I used a circle pattern on my boards, never staying in one place for more than three Mississippi. My planks of wood were melting. Immediately after the first application! br>br>I received a package that appeared to have been opened previously. So I'm not sure if this is someone else's return or if I just had bad luck with a defective product. br>Next time, I'll remember to take pictures from the moment I unwrap the package until the project is completed.
These worked fine, but after three uses, the middle began to warp. But I figured out a way to make it work. After I finished ironing a project, I'd simply place a heavy book on top of the pegboards for a minute or two to flatten it out again. It's a cinch to use.
I've purchased a number of these boards from Amazon as well as other retailers. If you use the ironing method, this product is fine, but due to the plastic warping, you'll have to replace the boards on a regular basis. My main issue with these boards is that every now and then, I'll receive a package that contains "defective" boards that don't fit or snap together properly. I usually fix this by sanding them together until they fit, but be aware of this, especially if you don't use the tape method for your Perler projects, as this can cause air to get underneath the boards while ironing, causing them to bubble up/warp more than normal warping from use. This nearly ruined my first major project. br>br>The bottom line is that if you want these boards to last a long time and save some money, use the taping method.
