Material

HDF Premium Line	HDF Standard Line	PLAYWOOD Wood Line
	^CORE
HDF (high-density fibreboard) – wood fiberboard, characterized by high hardness and increased density. Smooth on both sides, no processing required.	PLAYWOOD is a composite material, glued together from intersecting thin layers of wood. Dry-resistant plywood is used for laser cutting, which is produced on the basis of urea-formaldehyde resin (dry-resistant weld) for use in dry conditions.	WarMate is an uncoated, matte paperboard bleached on both sides. It is produced from mechanical pulp. It owes its low weight and easy processing to high fluffing.

	COLORING
Properly prepared HDF board is suitable for painting with many types of paints and varnishes. An interesting solution is to apply a primer such as we use for painting miniatures. Then the insert may be painted with a brush, roller or airbrush as shown in the picture. Please note that HDF does not like water, so if you apply too much or too thin paint, the material may swell. Therefore, it is suggested to use a spray primer before applying paint.	Plywood is best treated with stain and then protected with varnish or oil. Plywood after the first layer of paint can be slightly rough. We suggest to smooth the surface with fine sandpaper P300-400. In the next step, apply a second layer of stain and protect with previously mentioned varnish or oil. Alternatively, you can use acrylic paint or chalk paint for plywood. Such painting is best carried out with a roller or by spraying.	WarMate can be painted with anything that can be used on paper. However, it should be remembered that you do not want to exaggerate the amount of thin paint as this can adversely affect the cardboard structure of the material.
	PLUSES
easy to glue together (rigid and simple material which makes gluing easier and faster) very smooth surface hard and strong material can be painted with model paints (acrylic), requires prior priming weight which has a very positive effect on the stability of such elements as card trays low sensitivity to weather conditions in relation to, for example, plywood or waramte repeatable thickness of 3 mm has no external or internal defects	natural material can be varnished, stained, oiled, sanded weight: depending on the plywood used it is 30 to 90% lighter than HDF light color composes very nicely with engraving creating a high contrast	ecological material, made from recycled waste paper weight: material 3x lighter than HDF and about 1.5x lighter than plywood bright color composes very nicely with engraving creating a high contrast easy to assemble, paper glue, bookbinding glue or wikol are required can be colored with many methods that can be used to color cardboard materials
	MINUSES
weight more expensive international shipping due to higher product weight less visible engraving in relation to plywood and warmate	reacts strongly to weather conditions, can be deformed by too dry or humid air which increases the difficulty of gluing may have discoloration, very small knots, very rare internal defects	Not suitable for larger containers and very small / delicate parts due to its fragile construction sensitive to water (properties of cardboard) You will notice the wear of the material faster than on plywood and HDF
