I built a Mardi Gras float for my grandson and the brown builder's paper worked as an excellent base for the papermache work that I used to cover all of the seams. It was strong enough to actually hold some components together whithout additional support. The entire float is basically made out of products from my local Home depot. All of the lumber, paint and fittings including the concrete tube for the steam section and post topper from the fence department ! The staff was always very helpful in working to find the odds and ends that I used in an application that was far from the normal request.

use this all the time
I use this paper all the time along with your paint dept. I paint the paper and tear it and using white Elmers glue which I wish you would carry as use lots of it. Also use poly to seal. I use this on walls, furniture, floors, vases. etc. This is a hobby of mine. I also use your paint samples and clear glaze for small projects. I am at your store just about every week.

Great for crafts
I use a lot of this paper for crafting. I recently used this product to create props for vacation bible school. It is very thick and it holds up well. I crinkled it up and spray painted it to make rocks, trees and vines. It works well to write or color on it. The price point makes it very reasonable - around $.07/foot.

Construction Paper for Bird Cages
I have found an excellent use of the heavy grade construction paper. I am able to cut to size pieces of this paper to line the bottom of my many bird cages and place them in multiple layers. This has proven helpful in speeding up the cage cleaning process by removing one sheet each time the cage is cleaned. The savings in time and money experienced by using this paper for that purpose is significant.

one purchase gone right!
I was not happy with the thickness of this paper when it was purchased. I thought I had made a huge mistake by mistakenly buying it. It turns out it was one of the better mistakes I have made! PAper was easier to handle and went on like a charm. The paint job was perfect and I am one happy camper.

Protecting cabinets during remodel and floor refinishing
Great product. Easy to use, and protects well. I needed to protect my floors during the painting and texturing, and I needed to protect my cabinets during the resurfacing and staining of the hardwood floors. It works great!

One Paper, Many Uses
I originally got this paper to use for it's basic purpose of protecting my new carpet from the dirty shoes of the moving crew. It did that alright, but keeping the movers on it was tricky. I had a lot left over and had a wall my two year old kept coloring on. So I decides to hang it around her room starting at the base board. It works out to be the perfect height. The paper makes the perfect medium for crayon, marker, and even water color doesn't bleed through. It provides a smith durable surface for painting and doodling. I've decided to make it a regular feature in her room. I'm going to nail up a strip of chair railing to frame it in, and make it look nicer. If you are doing a lot of painting, I would either hang 2 layers or make sure the paint underneath is a durable washable kind. Just in case. I also use this paper to dry my brushes that have paint thinner and mineral spirits on them. It's very absorbent with little bleed through. You could use it in the garage, wrap presents, use it as a drop cloth for painting, or as packaging medium. The uses go way beyond just a drop cloth, that would be selling it short. I've seen and used other brands of builder's paper, but this brand is the best I've tried so far.

Very Handy Paper
This paper has so many uses. I originally bought it cover the floors when painting but have used it for protecting floors when furniture is delivered and wrapping items being boxed and stored. I use it routinely in my shop and made a dispenser to mount on the end of my workbench. When painting, gluing, etc I unroll paper to cover my bench top. Please see my photos.
The paper is nice and thick and holds up well to traffic. When we moved in our house I covered the floors for protection and it did fantastic.

Paper of many uses
There could be many uses for this paper. One of my major uses will be next gardening season in my vegetable garden as a protection against weeds and maintaining soil in the garden bed moist. I took few pictures from my daughter’s garden as one possible use. In contrary with black landscaping roll this paper does not leech carcinogens into the soil. I also used paper under flipped lawn mower deck to catch oil drippings from mower. I am planning using this paper for flooring protection during my next spring kitchen renovation and painting. The paper has good width and is very strong, when put on the floor, it stays in place flat, much safer then the cloth or vinyl sheet.

We use it for packing boxes. It is relatively stiff and can protect from damages. My daughter works for commercial framers and they use it for packing frames in boxes and crates. Works c
Very well.

Great product. Check orientation of bracket and snap onto blinds to see how they position when you they are actually mounted.
