Fantastic for alcohol ink

PICTURE NOTE: The pad is more off-white than shown in the pictures. I've used white paper in my alcohol ink projects (especially with translucent paper I needed a solid background) and it was a bit awkward to use (could puff up and cause permanent stains) and wasted (staining made it difficult to work with). for reuse). An unexpected bonus is how useful it is to clean on the go - so if I see ink under my work and it's affecting my work, I can quickly and easily revert to "white background". searched and chose it from some others and I'm glad I did. One of the main reasons was the sizes offered, which matched the dimensions of the paper/project I'm working with. I bought both the smaller and the larger size. PROS: Alcohol ink washes off easily with isopropyl alcohol and a towel. Super low staining (only yellow stains stain, but hardly ever - if I didn't know they were there, it probably won't be the time to say if a lot of 'barely' in 'wow, time to to get a new one" ends these." "Takes up very little space, just roll it up and put it back to keep it safe) Haven't tried it yet but I think it would be fantastic for resin projects. Comes in small and large sizes. CONS: (although these are all minor, they exist) is quite thin - even the tiniest bit of dust on the table will leave little bumps when laying on it (no permanent bulges, though) - doesn't bother working with it, but gets to the point) , so it can be fragile for other tasks like papermaking. Pretty "sticky" - and not for touching, but for collecting junk - like dust, hair, fur, etc. Easy to lift with a damp cloth, but can get in the way when in use. t is high compared to disposable options (e.g. freezer or parchment paper) --- I hope the information in this review has helped. I know how this all adds up, so I hope this has helped you decide whether or not this is for you. If that were the case, I'd like to hear about it with a "yes, that was helpful" so I can provide similar information in future reviews. Thank you for reading! l
