            Home Depot, thank you so much for this opportunity to rate your wax paper. It’s very papery and waxy. You did it. 10 points to Slitherin.

                Wax paper needed for a project (non flooring) and it worked out well. Also, ordering via website was easy and timely fulfillment with updates via email

                Not the product I was expecting. Return for a thicker paper.

                I ordered this to use as a release barrier while mounting laminate with contact cement. I needed something akin to waxed paper, but wider. This did the trick. I was able to laminate a door without having to piece together.

                Worked great, attached with masking tape!
                It worked very well for me, with engineered hardwood going on top. Attaching it to my subfloor, I found the best way was to use masking tape, like ScotchBlue #2093 Sharp Lines Painter's Tape. The tape is very thin, and it stuck to the wax paper and plywood subfloor just fine. First, I tried stapling, but the staples tore through the paper. A couple things I liked about the wax paper, was that it made it easy to slide the hardwood into place, and any loose dirt or sawdust was easily seen to be wiped off.

                Slippery, which is good
