how to know if I received the right phototex version

How could I know if I've got the right phototex? I've ordered the opaque version. It's written on the box, but the tape on the roll itself only read ''S'' for solvent. I don't have the regular one in stock to compare.

Thank you.

It should feel thicker and very little light should show through. It isn't totally opaque, but will cover any color without it bleeding through. Should say OPAS I believe.

I can't compare the thickness because I do not have the original one in stock. And if I but a flash light behind it, I can clearly see it trough.

Is the adhesive clear or grey? Opaque is grey...regular is clear.

The material is the left part in my picture. It's not as dark as wrapping material but it's greyish.

That's the stuff then. Forgot the adhesive was sorta grey on the opaque. I love using this stuff, but it has a hard time on even lightly textured walls. Doesn't conform as well as the old stuff.
 
Photo Tex

Here is pictures/versions to help - but looks like Opaque. Also we have improved the OPA and OPAS opaque/opaque solvent with a bit brighter white point and a touch stronger tack now to handle the texture walls. Happy to send free sample - just e-mail me walterjr@phototexgroup.com
