Pros : I have used a Homosote board for all of my stained glass projects. It is light weight yet sturdy, it is the perfect item for pinning down your work for layout or soldering. I also pin my Sal Ammoniac block to the board so it won’t slide around while I clean my soldering iron tip. The Homosote board also has the ability to “Self Heal’ older holes so it can be used over and over.
|
Cons : Wish they came in larger sizes such as 3' x 2'
|
| Other Thoughts : Worth buying - don't do a stained glass project without one! |
| Just a little too dense |

Pros : Good surface to solder on, holds tacks securely
|
Cons : Hard to stick pins into, have to hammer tacks in
|
| Other Thoughts : This makes a decent surface to work on, but it's a little too hard to use straight pins on. It can be done, but they're really hard to put in. And, the pushpins that come with the Morton system, well, I have to use the hammer to get those in all the way. Insulation board makes a much better surface. Also, I bought several sheets to cover a large surface with and found that they're not a uniform thickness, causing my work surface to be uneven. So, I'm going to find a big sheet of insulation board instead. |

Pros : I love this board. The system allows many configurations to be held firmly while soldering. It is lightweight and a good size to fit most of my work on.
|
Cons : I can't think of any.

Pros : This board is great to work on. It's also gives me the opportunity to do different projects in individual boards and able to move them around.
|
Cons : Would like to be able to get specific sizes if necessary than just the biggest size being 24 x 24
|
| Other Thoughts : Will always order more. |
| A shop necessity |

Pros : I have used these board for a work surface since day one of my stained glass working. It makes layout for copper foil method super easy and the soldering doesn't adversely affect it.
|
Cons : none
|
| Much nicer than ceiling tiles!!! |

Pros : Larger size is great for most "home" projects. Easy to clean, just brush off with a softer brissel broom. Pin wholes don't seem to bother the texture, nice and thick to make projects to come out even. LOVE! LOVE!
|
Cons : Be careful with that soldering iron...it will burn pretty easily and quickly!
|
| Other Thoughts : A great addition to our supplies. Much nicer working area to work on than ceiling tiles, although, it works pretty well, ceiling tiles just don't hold up as well. |
