Hi i have just bought a CMC and whilst I am practising with it I'm as you can imagine I'm getting through a fair amount of mount board which is getting a bit costly, does anyone know where I can get some really cheap board from or even some seconds will do just till I get the hang of it .. cheers dave...

Speak to any of the main suppliers - I have bought mountboard seconds from Lion and more recently from Centrado.

Thanks for that I'll give them a call tomorrow cheers..

It might be helpful to practice using a board which has the same characteristics as the board that you intend to use as your normal mountboard after you have finished practicing. I am particularly thinking about qualities such as the same thickness and density. While you are practicing, is there any possibility in selling these practice mounts, to recover some of your expenditure? Just a thought!

Never thought of that should be able to make a bit of cash back nice one cheers..

I hope so, but you will probably need to do a bit of research to find out what sizes are going to be good sellers.
