Does this blotter have foam backing? I've been reading that foam backing can eventually stick to the desk and ruin the finish. Thanks!

No, it doesn't. I just love my desk set (blotter and pencil cup) it makes my roll-top look so handsome. I went out and bought a green poster board to slip into the blotter, and it looks great. Hope you enjoy it. Yvette Cronin.

No it does not, we have a very expensive desk and it is perfect for it. It has like a cloth back. We had it for sometime and it still looks great.

there is a foam/felt backing to this blotter. however, we have had it in our front office for quite some time now, and we are careful not to get it wet (when cleaning the desk) and have had no sticking issues. It looks very nice and we have been happy.

The blotter has a black felt backing. It is soft enough not to scratch the desk top and it doesn't stick to anything or disintegrate.

Hello! If you are talking about the foam that you can see when you look inside from the front of the unit, no, that belongs in there. I wondered the same thing when I first noticed it since it looks almost like packing material! Leave it in, plug it in, and cool down! I bought the Arctic King last year and I love it. I hope this helps!

The desk has a light texture I would not recommend drawing on without a pad/blotter under the paper, as the texture will likely show in the drawing. People still use pens/pencils?! Let me find one real quick and try it... nope, DEFINITELY shows in the writing. Use a desk blotter, there are plenty available on amazon.

It doesn't foam up though if the glue layer is thin enough. Like in a nice tight joint, there won't much gas bubbles in the joint and it will be strong. Only the glops that squeezed out will foam up. Also it works as a coating - to test this paint the glue onto a test surface and it will stay the same color and doesn't foam or expand.

There is a backing, however, I noticed that it does leave black marks on the tile that bleach will probably remove. I am happy with the mat.

Hmm maybe contact the company. I have had mine for some time now and they are still good and don't stick to anything. They might have shipped some that weren't good. Try to contact them because it says they don't stick or stain in which mine haven't yet and I've had ours for a while now. See if there is anyway u can contact the foam company and let them know your concern. Hope it helps!

Not this unit. When I bought this unit, I received an e-mail from the company owners thanking me for buying this and was told they were coming out with a foaming version and because I purchased this dispenser I would be given an opportunity to purchase the foaming unit at a very large discount. I am still waiting, but the non-foaming unit I have is excellent

We used a box cutter with the same results. It is the way the foam was compressed that causes it to flake slightly when cut. You might find a white tape that can be adhered to the edge for a smoother look.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well.What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

Not sure; Suggestion; my email plafib@gmail.com I will send you a sample you can try, I would be doubtfulas backing appears to be paper.Not like wet or dry I am used to working with.

No. I have this on two desks and they have been there for about four months with no harm to the finish on the desks. Hope this helps.

It's cardboard nailed on. They match the color of the cardboard to the desk but it might still show

Hello,Thanks for your interest in Foam it Green!Properly applied Foam it Green should bond to anything that is not oily, wet, or extremely dirty, provided the temperature of the surface is 65-85' F. It may have some difficulty sticking to some super slick surfaces like some plastics, but the foam works great on metal, wood, cement, brick, block and many other surfaces.I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you have about your basement project. Just give me a call at 800-516-0949.Thanks! Linda

I will agree with K. Ferguson, it has a backing, we use it on wood table with no damage. I went to Home Depoe and got a piece of plexi Glass to go on top of it, they have piece already cut that is almost the same size as the board. (a little larger) this makes a very nice playing surface. We really enjoy this game.

The backing is harder that foam, it reminds me of a cardboard with a fabric overlay, but smooth inserts for Pins. From what I can tell it does not come out, the backing is firmly adhered to the sides and back of the unit. I do not know if you could remove and get a "clean" appearance. I.e. unsure if glued or nailed in.

The color of the backing is almost the same as the mat itself. I'm using mine on light creme color tiles in the kitchen, I've yet to see any stains around or underneath the mat. I love this product and it makes a huge difference on my back after standing for too long.
