The true beauty and secret to the popularity of using is found in the actual structure of the gatorfoam board. Gatorfoam has been recognized as the industry's leading heavy-duty foam board for more than 30 years.
The board is comprised of extruded polystyrene foam bonded between two layers of wood-fiber veneer. The wood fiber veneer is thin enough that it allows the weight of the board to be unbelievably light yet strong enough to be used for stretching 140 lb watercolor paper.
I am an avid watercolor artist who uses gatorfoam board to stretch all of my watercolor paper. I tend to work in heavy and wet washed and hate when the paper buckles. You can see my artworks created using gatorfoam board at http://dryflywaters.com/.
