Review on 🎨 Grafix IAB2432 ½” Foam Core Art Board: Durable, Light-Weight, Water-Resistant, and Reusable - Perfect for Stretching Watercolor Paper, 24" X 32" in White by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Beware of old, damaged or second-hand factory stock. 😑

This review is for products I received from Revain. I had Grafix Incredible Art Boards before I bought them from Revain and I was very impressed but I think what I received in my order was old stock or seconds because they weren't perfectly even to begin with and the " Sandwich" from were the three layers were not even in a circle and in some places there were chips. The main reason you stretch your watercolor paper is to make sure it lays perfectly flat so you can control where and how the water flows. Unfortunately when it's warped water can pool and dry unevenly so I ended up spending a lot of money on something I can't use. Unfortunately, I didn't realize there was a problem until after the return period had expired. (By the way my used old planks are still perfectly flat so I know this has nothing to do with how I stored them until needed ie flat in the original packaging in a moderate temperature room.) Buyers in eight take.

Pros
  • EASY TO CLEAN: After you're done with the board, just wipe it down with water. That's all! The surface can get dirty, but it's not a problem if all the loose paint is removed.
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
