Clear matt plastic film with a very light tack removable adhesive on one side.

Lay onto mountboard surface and trim to shape with scalpel. Or, cut with mountcutter - to help you paint bevels. Easily removed without damaging the surface. Use with brush or airbrush to create wash lines and other designs on mounts.

Capillary action may take some of the spray under the edge of the film, so burnish before painting.

This neat tool has a row of numbered holes going out at 45° from the corner.

Using a sharp pencil or a pin, you can mark out your chosen positions for wash and line decoration, or decorative tapes.

Easy to use and very durable.
