helps to prevent subsequent movement problems.<br />
Board conditioning by exposure to air conditioning with water<br />
standard hardboard 3 to 5 days. Ideally 48 to 72 hours, min 23 hours.<br />

medium Density Fibreboard (mDF) Only required if boards have become<br />
very dry, 3 days.<br />

Flame Retardant Board FR Boards contain water-soluble salts<br />
so only condition in air.<br />
To condition with water, lay the boards down under cover. With a brush, rub clean water into the back face of the board at the<br />
rate of half to one litre for a board 2440 x 1220 x 3.6mm. Work from the centre outwards then place them wet side to wet<br />
