Cathedral Products | White 5mm Foamboard - A1 Size (594 x 841mm) - Pack of 10

Excellent quality foam board for all your crafting needs, study flat great white finish also available in black

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.

1. Lots of people have complained about nasty sticky labels. The manufacturer must have taken notice as my labels were small, one side only and peeled off easily (as at 28/4/22).2. Corners protected but every sheet slightly damaged on one corner.3. I needed them for pattern making from existing clothes (using a spiked wheel and tracing paper). The boards are a useful base for this so I don’t really care that one corner is slightly crushed. To be honest, if I were displaying photos or art or project work, I don’t think it would worry me either, as the damage is slight.4. Hopefully, my uploaded photos show point 1-3.

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 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.

The media could not be loaded. I was expecting some of the corners to come squished because of past reviews, which didn’t bother me as I would be curation out shapes anyway… but the product came very well packaged. Great quality

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

Item is really good but what's lacking is the packaging. All of the cards inside the box had dented/damaged corners. Surely put a strong card in the corners to protect them.
