    I can't see the original post here - probably because it was 20 years

    Isn't Fablon (I've not seen it in use for many years) self-adhesive?

    https://www.pagesdiy.co.uk/acatalog/Fablon.html

    "Fablon was the brand name of a type of sticky back plastic or
    self adhesive vinyl available in a range of colours, designs and patterns.

    Fablon has now ceased trading after entering administration.
    "
