Nicholas S. ★★★★★

The color coding makes it stupidly easy to grab the right thickness mid-project, and the polyester cuts cleanly with scissors without tearing. I’ve used the 0.002" and 0.003" sheets for shimming a motor mount, and oil from the shop didn’t warp them at all.

Samuel M. ★★★★★

Finally got around to using these for dialing in a vintage watch movement, and the color coding made picking the right thickness effortless. The 0.0015" sheet cut cleanly with just scissors and sits perfectly without any oil seepage.

David D. ★★★★★

Cut a precise 0.002" spacer for a motor mount in under two minutes—the polyester cuts cleanly with scissors and stays flat, no curling. The color coding is a genuine timesaver when you're grabbing a sheet mid-project. Oil from my workbench wiped right off, so they'll last a while.
