Is there such a thing as Tempered Masonite anymore. I am looking for a sheet of 1/8" that is smooth on both sides. Today's hardboard does not come close. Thanks for any help.

You might try an electrical insulation supply.

Yes it exists. It is fairly _hard_ to find. In sizes bigger than a clipboard, (with hardware attached) that is.
That said, Google is your friend. "tempered masonite" turns up a bunch of hits. including folks who have 48x96 sheets for sale. 1/8" _and_ 1/4"
A couple of sources:
Look under "plywood" in the Yellow Pages.

Just in case the url doesn't work, Home Depot sells it.
Mine dosen't.
Even your link fails with my zip.
We have "Ecoboard" which is rough on one side. Not a sheet of tempered hardboard to be found, either 1/8" or 1/4".

I will have to second electrical supply warehouses. I use it all the time and get it in 4 X 8 sheets, by the pallet for work sites.
If you can't find it locally, Boulter Plywood
Look at the edge of a full sheet. If there is a red mark on the edge, It is tempered regardless of any other physical characteristics. If it had a green spot,, it's non tempered.

I found that Home depot sells a tempered masonite board with a white face which can be used as a white board. The stuff is fairly cheep. I lucked out. So $5.00 /hr special damage the edge of a whole pallet of the stuff. It knocked down the useable size to 7 ft, but it ran me a buck a sheet. :) Paul
I have a local source here in El Paso but I doubt that the borgs stock it. I usually keep a sheet (4 X 8) or two on hand.

Plenty of S1S, tempered and untempered, in the borgs around here, but I've never noticed any S2S. Fact is, until reading
