FAQs

What tools do I need to cut the board?

You will need a saw suitable for cutting chipboard, such as a circular saw or hand saw. Also, a measuring tape, pencil, and safety glasses.

Can I use this board outdoors?

No, this board is designed for internal use only. Exposure to the elements can cause it to warp and deteriorate.

How do I attach the edges?

The edges can be attached using edge banding. You can apply it using an iron (for heat-activated adhesive) or with construction adhesive.

Is the board pre-finished?

Yes, it has a matt black finish, but you may need to apply edge banding to the exposed edges.

How do I clean the board?

Wipe the board with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What type of screws should I use?

Use screws that are specifically designed for chipboard or particleboard. Ensure the length is appropriate for the thickness of the board.

How should I store the board?

Store the board flat in a dry environment to prevent warping.

Troubleshooting

Board is splitting during cutting.

Ensure you are using the correct saw blade for chipboard and cut slowly and steadily. Consider using a scoring blade.

Edges are chipping.

Apply edge banding to cover the exposed edges, or consider using a different cutting technique to reduce chipping.
