I am looking for a large board of this type for gum paste work. Is the surface smooth or is it textured?

it is not smooth, there's a slight bit of texture to it similar to medium to fine grit sandpaper. Hope that helps!

It is smooth & is a very good & sturdy board to work on. It's about 1/3" thick. Doesn't move around or bend.

It's about half an inch thick, but it's not smooth. It kind of has a sand paper or fine grainy texture to it.

It has a very slightly pebbled, non-skid surface. It will put texture into your gum paste. What about one of those large craft boards used for sewing that you can use rotary cutters on?

The surface is not smooth, it is criss cross textured, with about 1/2 millimeter depth grooves. It is very sturdy and durable.

Not cheap and rubbery, but hard and smooth with a fine, brush textured finish

It is smooth. It does not have a matte texture like some of the protectors I've seen.

Ditto, surface is smooth and when wet, can be slippery. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

It looks to be a textured surface that is pretty much smooth. My Microsoft mouse just slides over the mouse pad surface. Very little resistance compared to a regular mouse pad. One great thing about using the 3M pad it takes very little effort to move the mouse and you have to get acclimated to that feel. One thing that I did was to peel off the backing of the 3M mouse pad and glue it to a regular mouse pad I had left over. Now the 3M pad never moves.I like the 3M pad so much I have 2 of them.I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.Great product!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Sorry for the wait as I had to ask my daughter about it since it was a gift. The surface has a texture. Other then that it work fine, and she loves it.

It is smooth coated/dipped heavy cardboard. Not rough but also not as slick as plastic. I love it. Can write without a hard surface to lean on. Steady.

Well when it first arrived, it is indeed smooth as I suppose the top layer is treated. With several usage and washing, there will be wear and tear, and it will not be as smooth as before and also depend on how it is being used. Wood being a natural material, there are grains and texture on it. It was not a big deal for me and I did not have to do anything to it.

No. It won't make a textured surface smooth. It's very thin and sort of glides on the surface you're painting. I got a very smooth effect on formica with a foam roller. For a textured surface, you would likely need a brush. I'm wondering about the texture. Texture might mean vinyl. I don't know how that would work and last. I think that the advantage to this product is that, on a smooth surface, the effect is very smooth. Usually painting means a "painted" look. This product doesn't look like stainless steel, but it doesn't look like paint either. For me, whether I'd try it on your project would depend on how much I hated my current refrigerator. I would think, How much worse could it look? No. It won't make a textured surface smooth. It's very thin and sort of glides on the surface you're painting.

Yes, the surface is all smoith. Has lots of texture in some tiles but the surfaces are all smooth. I used it in a mosaic-turned out beautifully. Good luck - you'll love this!

Yes it is a bristle board. However there are different quality levels of bristle board. This board will be fine for home use. All bristle boards will show some cracks and holes based on the nature of the design and this board is no different. I use this board regularly and it has held up well.

It is smooth. There is a little rubber like surface to prevent slipping but it's smooth, not ridged.

Yes it is smooth but has a raised edge. I do use it for writing as well as laptop PC - good luck John Char

The top is semi smooth. It's not textured but not as smooth as glass. Make note of dimensions; this table is VERY narrow.

The surface is certainly smooth enough to write on, it's very smooth. It also has about 16 tilt positions between straight up and laying flat.

It isn't really textured at all. It's a smooth finish and it looks great. We've had it for two years and it runs very quietly. Highly recommended.

No it is very smooth. However I am not sure why mine dried out a little bit and developed some surface crackers on the top? It is still a sturdy comb.
