Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Paper & Reinforced Tapes
When you watercolor you have 2 choices to get the paper ready. 1. Get watercolor specific paper (read expensive!) or 2. Pre-stretch regular paper with this tape and a good backer board (water proof solid surface of some type). We chose the 2nd route and that's where this product comes in. We got a nice backer ready from a reclaimed old book shelving material which was destined to head to the landfill! We sanded that piece of wood smooth and then applied several coats of polyurethane to make it waterproof - this is important because the gummed tape NEEDS smooth WATER proof surface to GRAB. If the surface soaks in water, it can lose its grip! With these items ready, all one needs to do is get REGULAR copy paper - or any paper for that matter - which is very reasonably priced compared to the watercolor specific paper and tape around 4 sides to the backer. The gummed tape GRABS the paper tight and prevents the paper from getting wrinkled during the watercolor process. Be sure to remove the tape (to separate the painting from the backer) AFTER it is completely dry! Anyone who's trying to save some money in their artistic pursuit, we would highly recommend this item.Read full review
