Darkside Work Board 3.0 — Two-Sided Magnetic Prep Mat with 2-in-1 Fork

Darkside Work Board 3.0 — silicone prep board (31 × 23.5 cm) with magnetic fork for clean, heat-safe bowl packing

What it is, how it helps, how it works — in simple terms: This is a sturdy silicone mat you build bowls on. It shrugs off heat, so you can rest a hot HMD without marking the table. A metal 2-in-1 fork/poker snaps into the board’s magnetic groove, so your tool is always right where you need it. One side is smooth for packing; flip to the textured side to air-dry bowls and manage ash. If you prep at home or in a lounge, it keeps everything tidy and easy to clean.

We import genuine Darkside accessories direct from Darkside. Work Board 3.0 gives you a tidy, heat-safe surface and a magnetically docked 2-in-1 fork/poker, so packing bowls stays clean and organised.

What sets it apart

• Heat-safe workspace because the silicone is thermal-resistant — safe to rest a hot HMD while you rotate coals.
• Magnetic tool docking from the built-in groove that locks the fork/poker in place between steps.
• Two-sided utility with a smooth packing face and a textured face that helps bowls air-dry between rounds.
• Room to work thanks to the 31.0 × 23.5 cm footprint that keeps tobacco, foils and coals organised.
• Easy clean — rinse and dry; silicone doesn’t hold smells or stains.

Fit & compatibility

Use with any hookah bowl/HMD combo. The board’s surface is designed to handle hot hardware; the magnet only secures the included fork and won’t affect your coals or HMD.

How to dial it in

• Use the smooth side to load and level your mix; flip to the textured side to rest bowls between rounds.
• Dock the fork after poking/levelling to keep the station clear and avoid ash on the table.
• Pair with a performance bowl from our range and, if you’re choosing styles, see our simple bowl guide for fit and flavour control.

Craft & performance

• Non-slip silicone keeps bowls stable during packing.
• Magnetised groove prevents tool roll-offs and saves time mid-session.
• Textured relief helps air movement under wet bowls to dry faster.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse under warm water, mild detergent if needed; towel dry.
• Avoid sharp knife cuts; the fork/poker is purpose-built for the task.
• Silicone can attract lint — quick rinse before use keeps the surface pristine.
