Hmmmm....I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're talking about, but you can find masking film at any art supply store. It's self-adhesive, comes in sheets and you can cut it to any size or shape you need. It's used to cover portions of a painting to keep them clean until you're ready to paint them.

You might try your local office supplier, ask for StickyBack, or Chartpak, applique films. They're used for copiers, etc. A cheaper solution is Contact paper in a roll. These are great if you're into chip carving.

I've used those too. Â*Just one word of warning...and don't we all learn best the hard way? :-/ Â*Don't leave the sticky backed paper on your wood carving too long--or let it get too warm--cause some of the sticky can transfer to your carving. Â*I've used it to mask off carving areas when I was airbrushing other areas. Â*I've also used 3M painters masking tape, but you can't see through it, and I don't leave it on NOW more than a day or two.

Good Luck

If it is the same stuff that Janney has in his Gunstock Carving book, it is .75 a sheet. My Dad says that you can use shelf paper with the same result. Be very careful running anything like that through the copier, if it gets caught, it can melt and even start on fire. Check at www.graphictransfer.net. Pam
