I use this to mask acrylic and spray paint techniques for my paintings on canvas. It does a pretty good job at creating sharp lines, contours and shapes. If I need a super sharp line and am using it on painted canvas that still has much texture, I seal the area by painting it with acrylic medium first so that the next layer of paint does not seep under the edge. Sometimes I embrace this result. When using with enamel spray, the spray paint will compromise the adhesive somewhat so that if I am using the film again I will refresh the tackiness by spraying the adhesive side with a bit of photo mount. I wish this film was not so pricey but it is less expensive when compared to the other films and does what I need. I wish that this frisket came in wider rolls as I often paint up to 6 x 8 feet canvases. For the most part I cannot replicate this technique in another way that is convenient for me.

I haven't done any airbrushing in a while, so when I decided to airbrush a lot of the background for a large colored pencil drawing I ran out of frisket. Dick Blick did ship quick, so I was able to keep going on this project. However, I was hoping for a little more tack to this. Be sure and burnish right before you spray and you should be fine. It also struck to itself when I was trying to position it over the drawing.

I use this attached to regular printer paper for spray paint stencils. I print out the design on the paper then use spray adhesive to attach the printed paper to this. Then I cut out the stencil and peel the backing paper off this frisket and stick it to the surface to be painted. I feel the adhesive on this frisket transfers LESS to the surface than if I just use spray adhesive on the regular paper. Also, it makes the stencil stronger and thus, more reusable then without it. Just dont press to hard when appying it to the paintable surface.

This is the first and only Frisky film I have used. It worked really nice with heavy body acrylic on canvas. It was easy to cut and the paper backing was transparent, so it was easy to trace.
