Default Making Templates from plans

Hi,
Figured I supply this link for those builders looking to scratch from plans that are unfamiliar . Great for tracing those templates from a set of plans.
Available through Dynamic Balsa.

Worked better when it was frosted clear instead of red! Seemed to be a bit thicker and snapped cleaner. The red tears too easy for my liking...
