Used for:
Paint masking, masking for raster cutting on laser engraver. Perfect level of tack;
leaves no residue, won’t damage surface finishes. Thin enough to conform to
complex curved surfaces, cuts cleanly and easily with X-acto knife. We often use
this on back decorated screen mock-ups to create multi-step paint masks; cover a
piece of acrylic with Nichiban, lightly vector cut mask lines (barely cut through tape,
kiss the surface of the acrylic), then cut out the masked screen from the acrylic
sheet with a heavier vector pass.

ourselves to every day in the workshop. Even industrial paints wash off
easily with soap and water if you have this barrier on your skin. Best of
all, it helps your skin retain its moisture through the day! Dries in about the
same time as most body lotions, but it truly does dry; no oily residue.
