I was referring to a generic polyester film that is used in conservation for barriers between say a direct heat and an object, or to prevent glues getting on parts of an object you wish protected. Amber could use whatever she has to hand in this instance. Any clear, reasonably rigid, film would do to prevent the stick trap from sticking to everything, yet not block sight of the pest underneath. This would enable her to send the trap to Louis for ID.
