Title: What is this covering?
Post by: John Fitzgerald on March 21, 2012, 04:38:08 PM: I found two partial rolls of plastic film covering in my stash. One is fluorescent yellow, the other fluorescent orange. They are both white on the back side, and pretty thin. No labels...I need to know the heat range...thinking of using over foam.
TIA.

they also make fluorescent colors,,

Yes, glue side is white regardless of the top surface.
No label alnog the edge like MonoKote and no watermarks that I can find. It's about 12 years old or so, but was well stored and still good.
