We used to like fume boards (acid boards as we called them) but they have
been discontinued in Australia, many years ago, because of residue problems
in the honey.  Our overseas customers want residue free honey.  There are
still a few many irresponsible beekeepers around (in OZ) who think they can
get away with using fume boards but it comes back to haunt them in the end.
