I am not.
Is the question tricks for using it? Or its appropriateness for a ME context?

Re: Anyone using paper vellum ?
Neither actually, I have most of a roll of it in the attic. I bought it many years ago and used some for something or other. I was wondering if anyone wanted it. If so just pm me with your address and I'll ship it. First person to let me know gets it.
Re: Anyone using paper vellum ?
When you say "paper vellum," what exactly are you describing? From what I understand there are a few different materials that fit that description.

Re: Anyone using paper vellum ?
I'm assuming it's this type of substance: from Wikipedia
Modern imitation or "paper vellum" is made from plasticized cotton. Usually translucent, paper vellum in various sizes is often used in applications where tracing is required, such as architectural plans. Like natural vellum,[citation needed] the synthetic is more dimensionally stable than a linen or paper sheet, which is frequently critical in the development of large scaled drawings and plans such as blueprints. It was also extremely important in that reproduction technology for dissemination of the plans as, like a high quality natural vellum, it could be produced in a thin enough sheet to be virtually transparent to strong light enabling a source drawing to be used directly in the reproduction of field-used drawings.

I have it it roll form not standard cut rectangular, fairly large roll. I think 30" width.
