I like to cover mine a few days in advance so the fondant is not so soft. Easier to put the cake on it that way.

I agree ... it's almost hard after a few days, and is really nice to work with. If I have to cover a cake board at the last minute, though, sticking it in the freezer for about 15 min. makes it hard ... doesn't get damaged when the cake is transferred to it.

I add a light coat of shortening to the cake board to help the fondant adhere.
