King Starboard is the original marine-grade polymer and the industry standard. It is the product of a proprietary process called K-Stran, the most advanced manufacturing process available for producing consistently flat continuous sheets. King StarBoard is easy to work with using standard woodworking tools, and design changes are a snap.
In addition, the installed cost of King StarBoard is less than teak, other common marine woods, and fiberglass. Plus, our large sheet sizes maximize your yield. Boat buyers appreciate King StarBoard's low-maintenance finish. Repair and refinishing due to weathering and decay are eliminated, and cleaning is easy.

Questions & Answers about King Starboard 1/4":
2013-02-25MIKE LATHAM asked: I'm thinking of using 1/4" Starboard for abrasion resistance on the stem and forefoot of my boat as well as on the rub rail. Does anyone have experience with its resistance to abrasion? Would I be better of with 1/2" MATERIAL? It would have to take a modest curve and I assume be mechanically fastened.

2013-02-26DAVID NICKELL: You'll definitely have to use some type of fastener to attach it. I think 1/4 might be a little light for your application but i font know how much abrasion your application will subject it to.
2013-02-27DAVID GABLER: In my experience it is fairly abrasion resistant and yes would have to be mechanically fastened. The material is very similar to a a plastic cutting board I have. Depending on how you fasten it you may want to go thicker (e.g. counter sunk screw). Good luck.
2012-03-06JOE SCHUNATZ asked: Can Starboard be painted ?? And what about glueing or attaching ? Where to get TKS Joe

2012-03-07RICHARD ROSYPAL: I've had success 'gluing' it in place with 5200 marine adhesive however it was not a structural application. I used it to make up a new instrument panel as well as a side panel for mounting motor controls. The side panel was attached with screws.
I've also had success using titebond epoxie (the 2 part black&white tubes) attaching a small piece (0.5 sq ft) directly to the hull to mount a transducer without having to drill or screw into the transom.
I have not tried painting a starboard surface. My sense is that could be a bit tricky. The surface of starboard material has a slippery 'feel' to it somewhat like teflon. Seems like a special paint would be needed for lasting adhesion. I'd suggest you experiment with a commercial cutting board; it's made of similar material and would help in finding the right kind of paint.
2012-03-07BARRY SMITH: No, it can't be painted. Gluing is very difficult, requiring special adhesives. I only used screws to attach it.
2012-03-07WAYNE ROMBERG: I didn't paint it or glue it, but simply screwed it to fasten it.
2012-03-07GINGER STOLP: this product is much like kitchen counter top material "Corian" but a little softer. We used similar material in industry called UHMW I don't think it can be painted nor glued.
2012-03-07DAVID NICKELL: I used the finish of the starboard as supplied (white). In my case it replaced old exterior cabinet doors and it machines just like wood. I don't think that there is an adhesive that would bond with any strength. If I were going to attach two pieces together I'd use some type of mechanical bonding ie. screws, plates... I would definately reccomend this product for its appearance and ease of use.

2011-09-05SAL LORIO asked: I may have a manufacturing application for StarBoard, weight is very important. I have used 1/2" StarBoard for my prototype but wiegt is a problem, Is there different weights for 1/2" StarBoard material or is the density the same for all? I'm not sure if I can use 1/4" StarBoard.

2011-09-15JOHN HINCKLEY: I don't know the weight of the 1/4" Starboard I bought, but I assume that the weight is probably 50% of the 1/2" Starboard.
One thing that I either missed, or was not clearly explained is that the Starboard seems to expand and contract a little, so don't make the fit too fine.
Also, although it sounds like you have seen Starboard, I was not prepared for how rough the surface was. It is not smooth at all.
Also, it does dent easily...

2011-09-15Sal Lorio: I appreciate your input. The largest piece of Starboard in my project is 11" X 17-1/2". My original prototype was assembled using 1/2" thick Starboard which made it a little heavier than I expected. I was able to cutaway material to make it lighter but it didn't help.
I'll have to purchase a 1/4" thick piece and play around with it to see if it meets my specs.
Thanks Again,
Sal
2011-09-15ARY PEETOOM: Hi Sal,
The densities af the three thickness seem to be about the same. I don't know what you plan to use it for, so keep in mind that it has very little structural strength by itself and would need some framework to support it. Also I don't think there are any adhesives that will work with it so it can't be laminated except with mechanical devices (Bolts or screws).
Hope this helps
Ary.

2011-09-15STEPHEN ERB: Density is exactly the same for 1/4" It is just slightly flexible
2011-09-15TIMOTHY PENG: If weight is a problem you may want to consider a different material. StarBoard is essentially HDPE and has a fairly low strength to weight ratio. The density among sheets is fairly consistent though you would need to contact King Plastics for actual QA tolerance values.

Thanks
replace a bait box lid and it worked great same color as my 20 year old boat.

Comments about King Starboard 1/4":
Can cut and trim like wood maybe easier. I used a knife to clean the edges. This worked better than sanding. First time I used this material. I see many uses for this stuff. Now I'm planning more projects in my head. Rebuilt the dashboard in my boat that someone butchered the cutouts on and looked messy. Now it looks new again.

Comments about King Starboard 1/4":
I love using this stuff, it works very much like wood, and it won't rot. [...] and it would be great if it was adhesive friendly, but these are small quibbles. I used it to overlay some interior paneling that had a lot of holes from old switches, etc, and it looks terrific.
