The half-inch thick gatorboard can be used as a stretching board for watercolor paper. You use a staple gun to fasten the wet paper to the board so it'll stay flat when it dries. Apparently, thumbtacks don't work: they pull out as the paper dries. It seems like a nice, lightweight alternative to using plywood, but it's really pricey stuff (why a piece of foam sandwiched between paper would be so pricey, I don't know).
