What is it, Ben? I get the idea of what it is from the picture, but I can't get an idea of the material. Is it similar to clear tubing? If so, I have seen a few cases where that has pulled some lesser paint off after 20-30 years of being clamped to a frame.

Hi Kurt,
No it is a type of acetate film.., I buy it at the art store and it comes in various thicknesses as mentioned. I have not had any issues with it sticking or removing paint. You might think of it as a material that was used in making cell for animation etc. It can be purchased under many brand names...here is one.
Grafix Acetate is a cast cellulose Di-Acetate film used in many commercial art applications. Manufactured primarily from wood pulp, this film is 100% biodegradable and can be recycled, composted or incinerated.- Certified biodegradable
- Easy to cut and tear
- Exceptional clarity
- FDA approved safe for food contact
This general-purpose plastic is an industry-standard in graphic arts, packaging, printing, and overlays.
Best, Ben
