Guys, <br /> <br />I bought my first piece of homasote with 1/8" dips and humps in it. I have rejected a dozen more with similar issues on shopping expeditions. We are talking a mostly flat piece with a narrow spot or hump in one section. I had to fix these humps by filling and sanding. Sanding homasote is right up there in my book with cleaning the catbox....I do try to avoid it (the catbox is inevitable, sanding homasote is not if you are careful with the selection of pieces). Take along a small straight edge on your shopping expedition.. You might be surprised. <br /> <br />To find homasote try the big lumber yards/building supply dealers that the local contractors buy big dimensional lumber from, not the box stores. I have been able to locate it at these places....
