Work surface coverings.

[OldMart]

Hi Everyone. What is the best covering for a work surface that you can Push pins into, to hold your work temporally?

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Cork or Homasote works well to hold pins.

Maybe a sheet or part of a sheet of balsa or other soft wood.

Homasote as mentioned above. You can get a self-healing table cover from a drafting supply store.

I found some 1/2" thick cardboard that was large enough to use as a build board for a stick and tissue airplane and am now using t for my Cutty Sark model. Works great and cheap. Find some place that sells corrugated boxes to get this size.
