The taste of chipboard.
It has a good amount of strength to it. It was adequate for the task at hand. I used it to shape the scroll on the front of a chair arm while working on an upholstery project.
You'd have to force it to bend because it's the thickness of a penny. It has a lot of sturdiness to it. I used to use binder clips to keep my scrapbooking albums and junk journals together.
This chipboard is supposed to be acid free, but I can not say that it is with 100% positivity. If you're archiving photos or documents that you want to keep for a long time, it's recommended that you use archival spray on the chipboard. This is the difference between photos fading and turning yellow over a long period of time, such as decades.

I originally purchased it with the intention of making a busy board, but after realizing that I would need actual wood to do so, I decided to make these ornaments instead. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. If you're using a cricut and cutting on heavy chipboard, the 24 passes aren't necessary. I left it alone while it cut, and it sliced right through my mat before it even reached the 16-pass mark.
These were purchased with the intention of cutting them out with my Cricut Maker. So far, I haven't had much luck, but I believe this is due to my lack of experience with the Cricut. For chipboard this thick (it's pretty thick), you really need a more simple design than the one I was cutting. Although the material is of good quality, if your Cricut threads it, it will come apart. After I've successfully cut some of it, I'll update this.
For my first project, I built a small 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 inch box with 'windows' cut within 1/4 inch of each of three sides and a 1/8 inch overhanging, slanting roof (like a lean-to). on a 28-inch grid) to represent a small guard/checkpoint structure Table for 32mm wargaming: a small checkpoint shack, such as one might find alongside a road or at a border crossing. I ended up with about a 1/8 inch error at two of the corners because I didn't account for the width of the sheets where the two sides were glued to the other two sides. Thankfully, it didn't affect the overall look of the piece. It was a good lesson. With my xacto knife and a new blade, I can get a nice clean edge with several slices of light pressure (especially if I use my 12" or other metal ruler to guide the repeated cuts). To keep it together during construction, I used lines of super glue inside each corner (allow at least a minute for the glue to bond before moving, and TAKE NOTE: Once the sides were holding together, I held the box (without the roof) up at about a 60 or 70 degree angle and ran small fillets of white glue down each inside corner for extra strength, although fillets of hot glue would do the job better, making both the super glue and white glue steps completely unnecessary. Now I just need to locate my hot glue gun. I glued on the slanting roof with a 1/8 inch overhang all around after the 'box' was completed. I then used cut-outs around the windows, at the corners of each wall, under the roof, and around the back door opening. To represent trim, I bought cheap coffee stirring sticks on Amazon (very thin, 5 1/2 inch long by 1/8 inch wide, 2000 per box), which worked out well. With a slanting roof, cutouts on the front and sides (for open windows/firing ports), and the trim, I ended up with a fairly nice-looking, square (accurate 90 degree sides), fairly sturdy little structure. If I say so myself (which I do), it's not bad. ) The stir sticks came in handy because they could be glued all the way around the sides, overlapping horizontally to represent clapboard siding, cut up for roof shingles (although the chipboard would work just as well), and a variety of other things. When I finished inspecting the work, I was struck by how sturdy/fragile it was, which reminded me of the possibility of making small, homemade boxes and lids to hold lightweight gifts for a more personal touch. I'm going to give it a shot as well. I'm sure the 80 to 100 point chipboard would be more durable, but the price goes up with the thickness, and I'm happy with what I have. Recommended for small projects where the thickness of foam or EVA board isn't required.
While cutting on my Cricut, there was a lot of shedding, but it was otherwise very sturdy and good quality.
For my spiral-bound notebooks and planners, I use a nice hard cover stock. They're thin enough to punch, but strong enough to provide a hard writing surface. Unlike most notebooks, not all of them are floppy.
"1" and "1" are two of the things I make. I drilled 5" holes in these for cardboard plugs, and they worked perfectly. If you're concerned about thickness, glue two together, but this stuff seems to me to be just as durable as the thicker Kraft. Is it something I like? Thank you for a great product, prompt delivery, and a reasonable price from a reputable seller. We'll meet up again soon.
There's nothing I don't like about the sheets; I use them for a variety of projects that require a heavy boardlike quality. I was pleasantly surprised because they were a little thicker and more substantial than I had expected. I'm almost ready to order more and will likely double my order because I know the product is of high quality. I'm very happy.
The adhesive magnet paper isn't thick enough to store dies. This isn't what I'm looking for. br>br>However, it is perfectly acceptable for other purposes. I'm just disappointed that it won't meet my requirements.
