Review on 🎨 Borden & Riley #90 Sheer Trace/Medium Weight Vellum Pad, 11x14, 24lb, 50 Sheets - High Quality Tracing Paper Pad for Artistic and Technical Drawings by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Sensitive to moisture?

This material is really extremely transparent and is very easy to draw on with pencil and pen. But it started to warp when I took it out of the plastic wrapper, so I have to assume it's very sensitive to humidity fluctuations. I used part of a sheet as a protective barrier under my arm and it flexed incredibly and formed permanent waves over an inch tall, even though I wasn't sweating. I would be scared if this happened to a drawing I really spent time on. I'm staying with Dura-Lar.

Pros
  • 24 lb parchment
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Rugged, translucent stuff. Works great for what I use it for.
