Grafix Frisket Film Matte 9"x12" All Purpose Low Tack Self-Adhering Removeable Adhesive Film, for Airbrushing, Retouching, Stencils, Rubber Stamping, Watercolors and Masking, Pack of 6

Love this Frisket Masking paper.As a card maker I have used the little yellow 3M sticky notes for years. The sticky notes work - but this works much better! The whole sheet is low tack sticky instead of just a little strip. I keep the backing from each mask and re-affix to back of masks for storage. I find I can use the same mask over and over....a great time saver for the pieces that are detailed fussy cut masks.I highly recommend this product...you won’t be disappointed!

Exceptional

I put the Grafix frisket over a preliminary drawing of white flowers on a gessoed panel. I then spattered painted darker colors in egg tempera over the area. The frisket was in place for no more than 1 hour. When I removed it, it left behind a sticky goo.Definitely, users MUST TEST this frisket before using it on an actual painting or project!It was easy to cut with an Xacto blade. It covered and did it's masking job well. But now I have a sticky problem to fix.Easy to Use = 5 stars. Value for money.... 3 stars? Sticky tacky goo = 1 star. And a few tears... :-(

I used this to make stencils on my guitar to spray paint and it worked nicely. It stayed on the guitar's surface and non of the paint bled through or seeped under the film. It was also very easy to peel off and easy to cut with an xacto knife. Good stuff!

I chose this because I'm doing airbrushing with watercolors. With acrylics and illustration board, it's not as big a deal, but watercolor and watercolor paper are much more fragile. The other frisket was pulling the paint up off of the paper - not a great look after all of that work. This frisket treats the paint much more gently. You still have to be careful not to cut into the paper through the frisket or it will still pull it up at the cut. But if you're mindful, it works great.Note - do NOT get this from vendor CreateArt unless you're willing to wait a week for them to get around to shipping and another week for the item to arrive. I asked that the order be canceled after a week and they shipped it the following day, acting as if they hadn't received my request.

Stretch was moderate, but adhered well to the surface. Used epoxy paint, and the film showed no wrinkling - I've run into this with other film mfgrs and other paints. I actually forgot to remove the film - pulled the film off the following day, and was rewarded with nice sharp edges, with no leakage under the film. I will certainly use this product again. :-)

I can't say I've tried everything, but I'm still trying to find what this is designed to adhere to. It was very disappointing, to say the least. At least it was relatively cheap; that and the "low-tack" claim is absolutely true!

I bought this hoping I could use it when I use my watercolors, to block off an area that I wanted to be able to go back and do, after the surrounding area was dry. I picked this rather than the extra tack as I was concerned about it damaging the paper after removing. It allowed my watercolor to seep under it, so that was a big disappointment. I tried it with some distress ink, but found that if I used a new ink pad that was "juicy", it had a tendency to sometimes also get under the film, even on non-watercolor paper (Ranger's Dylusions Paper, aka mixed media paper). It did work when I used it with a distress ink pad that was not new and had dried out a bit, on the mixed media paper. I'll try to use it with older distress ink pad projects, but wont buy it again.
