The Jury is still out on what I'm going to say but. Remember that Dr. Paper stuff we've been discussing quit a bit lately!
Well, I came across another derivative of it about a week or so ago on Amazon. It's a little different than the other stuff and would obviously not be useful for covering but, it caught my eye because it said it was listed as "medical Pattern smooth exam table paper, useful for Patternmaking, Drafting and Tracing. I ordered a roll and as it turns out it is indeed very smooth on one side with a consistency nearly like wax paper (although it isn't waxy). It's listed under Part # B06Y1815PB.
When I get a clear area on a building bench I intend to try it as a general protector for plans while building. Not that I would use it as a wax paper. It is clear enough to easily see lines etc. through the paper and accepts a pencil line from a #2 lead! I really don't like to use wax paper for anything that might have a area come in contact with it that might later need to accept glue or dope! Definitely not a good idea for adhesives of any kind. However I think as general tracing for patterns or protection of plans it is going to work out fine! It's fairly CHEAP also. Same kind of rolls as the other Dr. Paper but available in single rolls 18" X 225 ft for a couple of bucks!
