Questions & Answers

Has anyone used this instead of masking film to prep a car to use plasti dip on? I'm planning on plasti dipping my chrome black ("chrome delete"). This is so much cheaper than film, and I'm wondering if it'll work for the project.

        Answer This Question

        If the paint is water-based then our standard brown masking paper will protect surfaces from paint in light applications. If the paint is oil-based, we recommend using Trimaco's green premium masking paper.

          What you are looking for is parchment paper that has a silicone coating and is made pacifically to wrap food for cooking.

            No for baking or cooking in the oven do not use it. It will burn but I do use it to wrap sandwiches and other items etc. it’s great for that purpose just don’t apply heat to it

                    Answer This Question

                    IMO, I would compare it to newspaper or gift wrap in terms of weight, fell and thickness. Definitely not as heavy as a paper grocery bag but still a good multi-purpose paper.

                      I used this brown masking paper in a craft project; I would unroll some of the paper and tightly twist it making a paper vine. These paper vines will be used to decorate summer vacation Bible School area / theme is rainforest. Easy to use, good price for the product.

                      This paper was excellent. I used it to wrap really large presents given at Christmas time! It was a great alternative to buying loads of Christmas paper and way cheaper. My grandchildren painted some of the gifts (the ones for their parents) to make it festive and fun for the little ones. Had plenty of paper left over to use it for it’s original purpose as a disposable paint drop cloth :). Home Depot really came through for me with this product and free shipping!

                      Works really well. It last for a long time and it is also sturdy. Able to do the job done right without creating a mess on the floor when I paint. 10/10 would recommend this product to any diy projects done in the house. I will definitely be buying this product again.

                      From painting base and trim to cutting in around fixtures this comes in handy. Seems durable enough and doesn’t rip too easily if stood on.

                      Excellent for covering windows
                      We just moved in to our new build and we needed something temporary to cover the windows while my wife orders her specific blinds/curtains/rods. This was then the perfect product we needed for short-term covering.

                        Nearly the entire roll was torn
                        Only the first 20-25 ft of the roll was useful. The remaining 160 or so feet had repeating 4-6 inch tear through the whole roll .....turning an 18 inch roll into effectively a 12 inch roll. Garbage product.
