A few years ago I bought a ream of red thick paper, I think 24 pound paper.
I like using the red. I bought the matte contact paper, but I did find that
I needed to make it even more dull by rubbing it with a dedicated piece of
stainless steel pot scrubber. I find that this works extremely well. I
figure I am set for life. All the markings show on the red, the white
thread is easy to see. Got the paper at Staples, (a chain of US office
supply stores).
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where we are waiting for a severe
thunderstorm. Fortunately, dinner is cooked, so any power outages will not
affect us too much.

Blue film is no longer being made. Vendors are offering a gray instead. The
gray contact paper is expensive just as the blue was. But why not switch
to clear matte which is very inexpensive and sold all over instead?
Clear matte contact paper sells for $6.86 for an 18 inch by 9 foot roll at
Amazon which will probably last most people for the rest of their lives.
This is about the same price as a single small sheet of gray contact paper.
Also since the contact paper is so cheap, you buy it by the roll, not the
piece, and it stays nice and flat on the roll so there is less wastage.
If I am going to search the world over for an exotic, expensive and hard
to obtain item, I would rather it was thread or bobbins.
