Review: A perfect dining table cover / mat / protector - I was looking for an environmental friendly way to protect my wooden dining table, or to avoid washing the cotton table cloth all the time. My wife wouldn't approve off any plastic table cloth that look a lot worse than her current beautiful one. I tried the temporary plastic table cloth for parties, and try to let it stay on the table as long as I can. That won't be a solution and they are too thin to be convenient. They are easily punctured. I was looking for a clear plastic sheet to cover the current table cloth so she wouldn't notice much. The ones on the market are mostly PVC. When I replaced the kid's shower lining last time, I though I was lucky to discover the cheapest plastic liner on the world in Target in a very hard to find corner. I didn't realize that the awful smell that we tolerated for days were toxic. Now we have PEVA instead. So obviously I won't get a PVC anything for my dining table. I didn't thought of just using a large piece of glass. But this will only be applicable for putting on wood directly. It will be too much trouble to change the table cloth if the glass is on top. For glass you need other table mats for cushion. Now this polyester sheet is perfect. It is actually 40 inch by 12 feet. It wouldn't make sense if it were 12 inch long. The only con is that I have to pay for 12 ft rather than 6 ft. And I have to cut it to size. Once unrolled, it has a tendency to stay flat. So it was easy to work with. It looked like glass, but you can't find the thickness at the edges. I boiled a pot of water, stopped the heat, let the bubbles subside, and put it on a piece of spare sheet. It didn't do anything to it. No marks. No signs of softening or melting. There is absolutely no smell of any type. This particular sheet is not FDA approved for food contact, but polyester the material can be approved in some applications. It's competitive with cotton because it doesn't need all the water to grow. We have mats for the forks and spoons so there's zero concern for us. The alternative is acetate sheet that is FDA approved for food contact. But it is not tear resistance and not heat resistance. The thickness is about a piece of normal paper. It can easily be cut to size with a scissor, but not a paper cutter. So you need not worry about damage by forks and knives. They may make a dent but no holes. The dents may be healed by a hairdryer but I don't worry about that. My other uses for the rest of the roll. Obviously, it makes good drawer liners. If there is a reasonable fit, it's pretty hard to lift the liner up. I cut the sheets with scissors by hand and get reasonable "straight" lines to fit the bottom. Update 11/2020 - Amazingly, it still looks like that. It's still in one piece. The edges and corners are intact. There are fine swirl marks due to daily use but you have to get close to see it. There are also one or two slight dish impressions and distortion when dishes are accidentally put on the table straight from the oven. But you can see a vague circle, and the sheet is still pretty flat around it. I must confest I haven't washed the table cloth under since!
Review: A cheaper way to make high quality hardcover dust jacket protectors - I have been using this film to make dust jacket protectors for my hardcover book collection, and could not be more happy with the results. The film's thickness, at 0.002, is the perfect thickness for creating the dust jacket covers. The thickness of the film allows the sheets that I cut from the roll to lie flat and curl free. The lack of curling alone makes working with this film a pure joy. The 0.002 thickness allows the film to be easily folded and stay folded in the positions that you desire. Although the film is very easy to work with, the thickness is still great at providing a high level of protection that I expect as a dust jacket protector. Lastly, the clear version of this film, which is what I have been using, is very transparent and clear. Because of this, my dust jacket covers look just as good as if there was no film over them. I initially purchased this film as an alternative to using Brodart's line of dust jacket protective film, due to Brodart's higher prices and expensive shipping cost ( $7.99 shipping, even with Prime!?!? ). On a related side note, if you intend to use this film to create dust jacket protectors, expect to get 11 or 12 normal size dust jackets covered when using the 12-foot roll. If you are considering using this film for the same reasons as I have, then you owe it to yourself to give this film a try.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth and depth of colored pencils
*by L***R on December 12, 2023*

I recently came across Dura-Lar paper and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with its quality. As a colored pencil artist, I always look for papers that allow me to create more depth with my colors and Dura-Law paper has exceeded my expectations. The double-sided option is a game-changer for me. It gives me the flexibility to alter colors and depth without altering the front side. Another thing that I really appreciate about Dura-Lar paper is the ease with which I can use my slic tool. The paper's smooth surface allows me to smoothly glide my slic tool over it and removes the pencil nicely. Overall, I would highly recommend Dura-Lar paper to all colored pencil artists out there. It is a unique paper and one of my go-to papers now, and I am sure it will be yours too once you give it a try.
