Grafix Dura-Lar .007” Ultra-Clear Film, Acetate Alternative, Glossy Surface for Coverings, Stencils, Color Separation, Window Applications, Transparencies, and More, 40" x 12'

I have a Pekingeses and Chihuahua mix dog only weights 2 lbs. I had to find the solution for wide opening between spindles very quick, so that my dog wouldn't be able to put her head between the spindles and fall. I also didn't want to cover with heavy or opaque materials that make my house too heavy and dark. I ordered this product to give it try before I can find the permanent solution. First, I wasn't sure if 0.003 will be thick enough to do the job, but to my surprise, it's pretty tough and this did the job. It's not the permanent solution, but for now, I am happy with it. It's very clear so that you really can't tell I have acetate weave through between the spindles.Update: 10-29-2014It's been almost 1 year since I put this acetate between the spindles to prevent my small dog from falling. when I first put this up, it was going to be temporary until I found the permanent solution, but I wasn't able to find anything that suitable for my budget. So, it is still there and working great.No tears anywhere. My dog try to scratched, but it is too slick for her to grab it. It's still looks as good as when I first put it up. I would think this type of application can be used for small baby as well.

This is a great product!! I used this to make stencils using my Cricut for my craft business. I used it for the stencil on this image, which has small delicate text/fonts. I previously purchased the .007 thickness for the same purpose and it worked great as well, but given the difference in price per square inch, I'll stick with this .005 version. If you are familiar with cutting machines, the .005 thickness would be comparable to a double layer of the protective film on the cutting mats. It would not puncture, it is flexible - great for uneven surfaces such as pallet signs with various thicknesses because the .005 plastic will bend/stay flat against the surface better than thicker (stiffer) material. However, with delicate designs you could tear it, if you are too rough or the adhesive you use is too strong. From my experience, I have not had any issues cutting this product or using it multiple times as a stencil. The setting I used to cut this was: blade depth 3, pressure: max, speed: high - single cut, no need to double.

Very thin, perfect as monitor covering. The .001 is too thin, but this is excellent. Most plastic sheets are .02, which is not very transparent, but this, although glossy, is crystal clear. Use 1/2" Kapton tape to fix it to your monitor, Kapton tape is a bit expensive but leaves no residue, ever, even after years and years.

Hard to write a review for something that has so many different uses. For me I use it to cut out detailed multi layered stencils. If detail is your game, then this works really well. However it's a bit flimsy, so if you want the stencil to last longer I would go with a .005 thickness instead of the .003. Over all it works well for my needs. Lines cut cleanly, and considering how very thin the material is it's surprisingly durable.

Great thickness and quality.

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.

I purchased this product to cut stencils on a Brother Scan n Cut 2. I had already tried the product designed to work with my machine but had disappointing results . . . but that was my first ever attempt to cut a stencil. My take away from that experience was that I was definitely looking for a sturdier product that would hold up through much use. After reading the reviews on this product, I was hopeful. It clearly states that it is 40 inches wide. My machine will take 12 inches x 24 inches max so I got out my rotary cutter and easily cut the 40 inch width into 12 inch strips and 24 inches long. I first used a mid tack mat and a regular cutting blade set at 6 and the speed at 1. I had a perfect stencil but it stuck so well that i damaged it removing it from the carrier mat. So I moved to a light tack mat and used the same settings. Success!!! I made several stencils 12 x 20 and 12x 24. The material is still tricky to remove if your mat is new and very tacky put patience is key. I am beyond thrilled with this product and would definitely recommend it. The weight is perfect and has some body to it so that intricate cuts remained flat and in line with the design. VERY pleased with this product.

used it as a dust cover for my books - worked very well

Lo usé para proteger unas ilustraciones y quedó bastante bien. Es el 0.5 el que adquirí porque por lo que leí, el 0.3 es más delgado.

I bought this to cover my vintage and antique book collection some of which no longer have a dust jacket. It is great for preserving books and one can still see the lovely book boards that often cover these old books, especially if decorated in gilt. Just ordered a bigger roll. Hope the company don't run out!

Takes a bit of time to get to you but the product is as expected.

la verdad llegó muy rapido y bien, pero yo necesitaba mas grueso!
