Failed the Lab inspection
Boards were cut out of square and had as much of 11/32” variation. The imprinted nailing pattern and grid varied by over an inch from board to board.
Poor quality control.

Unlike brittle boards
Has an excellent bendable character to it, easy to score, easy to bend and separate after the score, great to handle, easy to screw, clean edges for great fit. I favor a dry fit first, then label each one, set aside, lay the thin set for one, secure the one, thin set for two, and so on. I have used other backer boards, but this works the best.
