Somewhat narrow stickers, closely spaced stickers (with such thin 
wood) - not too sure about _thin_ stickers (you still want all the 
air circulation you can get). You need to be very careful about 
keeping stickers lined up on top of each other, with thin wood. The 
cardboard saves that, but at the cost of not getting any air 
ciculation to speak of, so frequent cardboard changes are going to be 
needed, or mold is possible. Weight the top of that stack well, too.
