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: Smooth and depth of colored pencils - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you emboss these with a Cuttlebug?**
A: Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that?DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!!I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve.The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls.I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity.Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

**Q: How "high heat" resistant? Anyone tried/recommend for/against running these thru a laser printer?  Thinking > .005 but not sure how thick exactly. Thx**
A: I don't have a laser printer, but have embossed the .005 with embossing powders and a heat gun that heats to over 450 degrees and my biggest one heats even higher but I threw away the box so not sure of the temp on it. So far this acrylic has stood up to everything I have thrown at it with no problems. As for the thickness, if you get the .005, it is about the thickness of a high quality business card. It is the thickness I use for all my crafting and card making projects. Hope this helps.I was out of town so did not see this request till this afternoon. Sorry for the delay!

**Q: Can this be used over epoxy as a release agent?  Will epoxy resin bond to this?  How is the thickness in comparison to saran wrap?**
A: We have not tested the Dura-Lar as a release agent. However, we can tell you this product is much thicker than Saran Wrap. Unlike Saran Wrap which is flimsy and soft, even this thin Dura-Lar film resists creasing and wrinkling and is designed to remain smooth and flat. This product can be compared to transparencies for overhead projectors.

**Q: If using this in making greeting cards or for windows in small boxes, what is the best glue to use?**
A: We would recommend a double sided tape or transfer tape.  Glue dots also work well with this material.
