==Overview==
Black waterproof panelboard (also referred to as: "black waterboard", "door panelboard", or just "panelboard") is used to make door panels, kick panels, package shelves, sail panels, and other interior pieces.

Waterproof panelboard is made of tightly-grained chipboard, and is approximately 1/8 of an inch thick. It's (mostly) waterproof, bendable, and can be sewn, stapled, and glued. Sheets are available in various sizes, including 32"x48" and 39"x65". Prices range from $5-25 per sheet, depending on the supplier, the size, and the quantity purchased.

==Cutting black waterproof panelboard==
Black waterproof panelboard is best cut with a sharp utility knife. Saw blades tend to chew it up and make poor working edges. When making holes in it, it is best to use arch punches of various sizes.

==Sources for black waterproof panelboard==
Because of its size, panelboard is often not economical to have shipped.

Some suppliers may only sell in larger quantities, or don't sell direct to consumers.
