Would I be able to use it as a bulletin board if I used staples instead of tacks or is it too thin and would tear?

To prevent tacks from penetrating into your drywall, use a spray adhesive and mount the cork to a foam board purchased at the dollar store.

Maybe double it up or triple layer with flexible glue between, such as silicone rubber or rubber cement

You could use it as a bulletin board if you used staples. It is rather thin but I use mine as a bulletin board. I stapled it inside a broken mirror frame.

it's only about 1/8" thick. If you did a couple layers it could work. My wife used it to cut into 1" strips to weave together to make a cork board and it was barely thick enough, so we wound up backing it with some foam core so the thumb tacks wouldn't go all the way through.

Your question is tougher than it appears. First, the hardened wood may pose an issue and I personally am not very impressed with this so-called "heavy duty" stapler. I would go to one of the big box stores and try out the different models and see if they make specific staples for old and hardened wood. If I had it to do over, that is what I would do myself. Good luck with your project.

If you need something that will stick really well, no. Think of this as a huge "Post-It" note...the adhesive sticks fine, but is weak enough to be peeled off and re-posted. If you want contact paper, buy "contact paper"---the stuff sticks like cement!

I am sure you can, although it is very thin paper so you would have to be careful not to tear the paper.

No, it will not work as chalkboard... best to stick with the "chalkboard paper". Good luck with your project !

If you mean a pin-board, then no, not directly. The only way you could use this item for displaying documents would be to attach them to the bottom (or side) of a document that is already attached by some other means. Even then, it is unlikely that the 'joint' would be strong enough to withstand any sort of mauling. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Eric.

Definitely. That's what I used it for. Just get extra heavy duty staples. I think some come with it, but I can't remember.

If the shelves have a very smooth surface it may work fine. I used it to cover pressboard on a cupboard (on the outside../in my kitchen), and used some spray adhesive to make it even stickier.Worked fine.

I suppose you could, but it's not a permanent sticker, so it can be re-positioned or taken down & hung up elsewhere if need be. If you're putting it up on a corkboard or something, then I could see using it with tacks instead. But if you're just putting it up on a standard wall surface, I wouldn't bother with the tacks. Hope that helps! :-)

I don't think this backboard is suitable for what you want to do. This one is more like a hard plastic but I doubt it's thick enough to hold onto a screw / bolt after drilling. A wooden board might be best.

You can use the really heavy duty thumb tacks that come with it or the velcro. I used both. It's really very well made and not flimsy.

I use it for a lot of different things, Greeting cards, post cards, calendars, pictures, posters, etc. You could use it for playing cards, but they would be thin and flexable and would not last very long if played with regulary.

Hi DeannaAs best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler.In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction".I suspect it will hold up fine for light work.Would you like to buy some staples?

Hello, It is up to you & the project you are doing. We typically recommend chipboard that is as thick as the back of a writing tablet. We don't recommend anything thinner than a cereal box though. Thanks, Shop To Craft Customer Service Team

The size of your easel will probably play a big factor. But, for a common easel (one that holds those large pads of paper), I don't recommend this board. I don't think it is stiff enough to be used in this manner.

Hi, I'll be honest, I think it's too thin. In my opinion this is more like the weight of card stock. I had bought it thinking it was going to be a bit heavier. I envision tagboard as being weightier than this.

You probably could, although since the back of these are mostly magnets, it might be a bit of a challeng to find a way to get a fastener onto it.. For wall mounting I would suggest the boards made more like bulletin boards.
