Excellent diffuser material, cuts well with a laser cutter

I have used this as a diffuser in wedding lanterns. I wanted something that would perform like rice paper but be less brittle and not leave soot marks on the laser cut edges. It can be glued to MDF with Mod Podge and spread garlands very effectively. My clients have loved the results and I look forward to using it on other projects.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Exactly what I was looking for

I used this product to make 3D gems and it was perfect. I needed something soft enough to fold without breaking but strong enough to support the weight of an LED tealight and withstand rain/wind. That was excellent. I bought several rolls and each of them matched the description. Both sides are matte and more opaque than not - light will get through (as the attached image shows) but not all. This company makes clear plastic sheeting if that suits you better. You can write/draw on both sidesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Fantastic for drawing with colored pencils.

I used an entire roll (yes it was really 20" x 12 ft) when I tried the colored pencil. Just ordered my second roll along with Grafix Dura Lar wet medium so I can try using watercolor and ink. I've added a few photos of my colored pencil drawings. Each carrier has its own advantages and disadvantages. Most colored pencils/mediums require 20 layers to create depth of colour. This will never happen with this matte Duralar, it lasts 3 to 5 coats depending on the brand of colored pencil used. Someโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
