Has any one had any experience with this product. I saw it at the paint
store a couple of days ago. It has like a thin rubber backing that is
almost clear. Flexible and apparently lasts 15 times longer than
regular paper.
I wonder if it would be a good replacement for the Norton foam backed paper.

Hmmm, won't fold, huh! I might try heating it, a little, see if it folds effectively.

I think it will fold to a degree but will probably leave you a radius
return on the fold vs. the backing being entirely flat back to back.
I don't think this is going to replace paper backed so much as being a
better choice for rounded surfaces and easing edges AND lasting
significantly longer.
But let us know if you do heat it and how that turns out.

Might have to try it. Wish you had posted this yesterday, I would have bought some, then. I bought 2 packs of the All Purpose, packs of 20 sheets. I suppose I could exchange them.
Rubberize backing: Wonder if it folds like the All Purpose sheets.

That would be OK, I almost exclusively use the foam backed paper for
easing sharp edges.
"If" you have used it in this capacity you understand that this can
often raise a splinter. Is this paper resistance to a splinter poking
through the backing? Again the foam backed seems to be pretty resistant
to this happening.
Thanks again for the info.

Thanks! good to know. I have been using the foam back paper for a few
years and it does good but if this will last even 5 time longer it might
be a better solution.
