I posted a while back about finding a release agent in powder form that is now
present on plastic sheeting that Home Depot and Lowes is selling. It ends up
they buy based on price. The MFG they now buy from uses "SLIP" in their MFG
process.
Slip I don't think is a very good thing to be laying up on.
If it says "Film Guard" on what you have, it has Slip used in MFG.
Some use more than others. I even purchased some Clear Plastic sheeting from
U-Line, but it now contains slip.
I am just about out of some Frost King clear plastic sheeting 10 feet by 25 feet
and 3 mil thick that uses no slip at all. They do not sell direct. They used to
sell to Home Depot, where I purchased it.
At the moment K-Mart is selling the 10 x 25 x 3mil Frost King. If you are going
to need any plastic I would go pick some up. It is pretty clear stuff.
