It is an ideal shelf or tray liner to prevent slipping of bottles or instruments. It is odorless and semi-transparent.

  4. I've had success using the polyvinyl material from postal service bags for tarpaulin or anti-moisture wraps on detailed model railroad loads. I add acrylic varnish to my base paint to add elasticity, then spray the finished model with a flat finish as desired.
