Amazing Surface for Encaustics

When I tried this product for my arts and crafts project i was blown away by the texture and smoothness of the surface. The colors on the board came out vibrant and the wax adhered perfectly.

Pros
  • Durable and sturdy hardboard surface for encaustic painting
Cons
  • Slightly more expensive than other encaustic board options on the market

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
