1023 Series Adjustable Spreading Boards<br />

Used to pin wings of Lepidoptera into a fixed position until set, these<br />

spreading boards are unique in offering two separate methods of pin<br />

adjustment. Pinning strip is solid balsa, and accepts mounting pins at<br />

any depth along the pin shaft. This pinning strip may be adjusted<br />

vertically to suit user preference, and may be tacked or glued permanently<br />

in the desired position.<br />

Both boards feature adjustable horizontal pinning grooves, from 0 to<br />

7/8" (0-22mm). Basswood mounting surfaces are angled at 165°.<br />

Balsa pinning strip is 3/8" (16mm) thick, and 1" (20mm) wide. Boards<br />

are 12" (305mm) long.<br />

The 1023E board is used to mount varied sizes of specimens. Pinning<br />

surfaces are 2" wide (each side); board width is 4-7/8" (124mm).<br />

The 1023F board is intended for mounting large Lepidoptera. Pinning<br />

surfaces are 3" wide (each side); board width is 6-7/8" (175mm).<br />

Spreading Board Kit<br />

Ideal for Lepidopterists or entomology classes. Kit provides<br />

components for 12 spreading boards as described for the 1023E<br />

board listed above. User can assemble boards at considerably<br />

lower cost than if purchased in completed form.<br />

Center groove in the boards may be set at whatever width is<br />

required; or with the purchase of optional hardware kit, groove<br />

may be made adjustable from 0 to 7/8". Boards are 12" long,<br />

and basswood pinning surfaces are 2" wide. Balsa pinning strip<br />

may be set at height preferred by the user.<br />

A hammer is the only tool required for assembling boards with<br />

fixed pinning surfaces. A 3/16" drill is needed to complete adjustable<br />

boards. Instructions are included in each kit.<br />

Large pinning board provides<br />

a versatile yet inexpensive<br />

butterfly and moth<br />

spreading system. It has<br />

five grooves measuring from<br />

1/8" to 5/8" accommodating most specimen sizes on a single<br />

board. Deep groves cut into a 1-3/4"-thick styrofoam block<br />

allow for perfect positioning of specimens using any pin length.<br />

This easy-to-use pinning board is well suited for students or<br />

anyone on a tight budget. It is especially useful for field pinning<br />

because it can hold many specimens yet weighs under 4 ounces.<br />

Size: 11" long x 17" wide (28 x 43 cm).<br />

Spreading Boards<br />

1022W<br />

A longer length is available in 1022 pinning boards. The 3/8" rigid plastazote<br />

pinning strip holds a pin securely. Sufficient clearance permits mounting<br />

the insect at the top third of pin. Basswood mounting surfaces are<br />

angled at 165°. A 1/8" hardboard floor is provided to prevent accidental<br />

disturbance of pinned insects from the bottom. For large specimens,<br />

an adjustable board with flat pinning surfaces and two stabilizing adjustment<br />

screws on each end has been added to this series.<br />

Unique adjustable spreading board<br />

is unmatched in ease of use and<br />

versatility. Angled pinning surfaces<br />

are select balsa, 2-1/2" wide x 1/4"<br />

thick, fastened internally to a<br />

sturdy, vacuum-formed plastic<br />

base. The base is cemented to a rigid hardboard floor to avoid<br />

warping, provide rigidity and resistance to pressure.<br />

A plastazote foam strip, 3/8" thick, is inserted in the center<br />

pinning groove, which is adjustable from 0" to 3/4". Width is<br />

changed by pushing the balsa strips across the smooth surfaces<br />

to the desired width. Adjusting screws increase or decrease<br />

resistance as needed, or lock width into permanent<br />

position.<br />

Balsa pinning strips are resurfaced by wiping with wet, soapy<br />

sponge to close pin holes, then sanding with fine paper when dry.<br />

Overall length is 14-1/2" (36.8 cm); overall width is 5" (17.2 cm).<br />

1021 Adjustable spreading board 21.35<br />

angled at 165°. Pinning surfaces are attached to 1/2" composition<br />

board which also functions as pinning groove bottom. Groove<br />

on fixed board is 1/4" (7mm); groove on adjustable board is<br />

variable from 0 to 5/8" (0-16mm). Boards are 12" (305mm) long.<br />
