What extra ‘must have’ equipment would you recommend?

A useful piece of kit to have is a fibreglass electrical contact cleaning pen. Great for removing small blemishes on mountboard.

Thats interesting Prospero what sort of blemishes would it remove from mountboard would you use it instead of a rubber or sharp blade?

It's more controllable than a blade or rubber. Using a blade often makes the mark worse and a rubber just scuffs up the surface.
You can dig embedded particles out with a blade but you can hide the hole with a fibreglass pen by teasing the paper fibres over.
