  • Cut Taskboard with an Exacto knife, utility blade or laser cutter, children can cut with scissors
  • Check the direction which you will form the sheet of Taskboard, one direction is more pliable is is the right directions
  • Before forming spray a light coat of water on both sides and knead with your hands or roll on a round object
  • Some 3D shapes should be held with rubber bands and clips until dry and some shapes do not need to be held
  • Make complex shapes by spraying water on parts of the shape by masking the rest to prevent saturation
  • Drying the object can be done faster in front of a room fan or using a hair drier. Drying without these will take a bit of time.
  • Sanding Taskboard sheets can be done with sand paper to smooth the edges and correct misaligned glued joints
  • To glue damp Taskboard use hot glue, White glue, craft glue and Sobo glue will work well on dry pieces of Taskboard.
  • Frayed edges due to over wetting can be fixed by injecting white glue into the frayed edge of the board
  • If creases appear use a spoon or the back end of a sharpie to smooth the creases
  • Embossing is possible by laying a leaf or similar flat object and pressing with two pieces of wood and a clamp
  • Make tubes, calculate the circumference, cut a piece of Taskboard and roll onto a dowel by covering the strip with paper tightly, before hand, glue with tape the paper to the dowel
  • To avoid dents in the board when it is drying, buffer with small pieces of Taskboard under the clips or rubber bands or string you are using to hold until dry
  • You can paint flat sheets with any paint, for painting already formed shapes apply three light coats of spray paint and then a final coat. you can also use markers and crayons on already shaped objects
  • To make Taskboard archival, use Papersafe® spray

Taskboard is a low-density sheet material made from sustainable forestry wood.

With scissors, craft-knife, or laser cutter - these low-density sheets are extremely easy to cut.

For those using a laser cutter, Taskboard® cuts much faster than all other materials and with minimal, light-colored scorch marks.

Taskboard is stable, flat and will not warp. Yet if you slightly spray both sides with water, you will be able to form and shape it into curvilinear 3D objects that will become rigid when dry.

All sheets are formable except 1/8” thick sheets. And only 1/32” sheets can be cut with scissors.

For faster drying use a hair dryer, or place in front of a room fan.

Some shapes will need to be held with string, rubber bands or hot-glue until dry.

You will be able to form tighter curves in the direction of the grain, and it is always best to knead Taskboard gently or wrap it over a cylindrical object before you create your shape.

Form Taskboard in the direction that it is more pliable, test this before forming by feeling the ease of bending in each direction.

You may choose to sand the edges to smooth-out any cutting mistakes or to give the edges a softer, rounded look. You can also burnish the edges with the back end of a pen or a spoon.

To glue damp Taskboard use hot glue.

White glue, craft glue and Sobo glue will work well on dry pieces of Taskboard.

Taskboard is available in White and Basswood-tone™. White is smoother and much better for forming.

Basswood-tone has a rougher wood-like texture and produces superior results for surface etching by laser.

Taskboard is available in 1/32 inch, 1/16 inch, and 1/8 inch thickness.
