They're disposable and cheap, last for a long time, and you can flip 'em over if one side gets too chopped up and grungy. When they're 'pristine', with no gouges, even CA glue won't stick that good. I keep one or two at my workbench and one at my computer desk, for when I just gotta "work" while I'm "working"...

As for the scratches and dings you get from the board into the balsa surface, the first good coat of FNF usually takes care of filling the voids. You could probably use a piece of 220-grit paper to knock down the raised edges and some 400-grit to polish the surface back down. I've never seen gouges that severe, though. And if I did, that would be time to go get a new pack of sheets...

Ditto. This was my wifes idea. She didn't care for the gouges I left in our old hand-me-down kitchen table.
