I mean there is nothing really "wrong" with the black or the extra white board so long as you don't need to make fine cuts on the white board or pleel the paper off of one side. The black foam seems more consistent to the older foam, it just can't seem to keep it's paper down.
The new white foam just spontaneously decides to ball up right in the middle of an edge bevel for no good reason. It's a brand new blade (in fact, I have taken to using a new blade for each bevel, that's 4 or 2 blades depending on how the wing is contructed. Thw cost of cuttimg this foam exceeds the costs to plurchase it!
Then there is the issue of trying to peel that white paper off of the foam. I have confirmed that simply spreading a thin layer of common rubbing alcohol on the side to be removed, give it 15 seconds and paper practically slides off of the board. Just don't allow any alcohol to get in touch with areas you want to stay covered. One of my pet peeves about this white board is since the inital bond is stronger than the traditional "825" (last 3 didgets of part number on stickers) that it is so much easier to tear the paper when you are separating the paper along and edge or in a channel. Here I use a q-tip wetted with rubbing alcohol to run a think layer of alcohol on the side I want to keep. This releases the paper from the edge and make the peeling so much easier.
As for the black. besides being just a hair over 0.02 mm thicker, it just looks like crap after a few flights when it is beginning to peel around the edges.
