Abstract: A water based stencil filler that can be cleaned off monuments with a water wash, the filler being comprised of a tackified elastomer aqueous dispersion formulation containing (a) a rosin derived resinous composition which is a substantially a polyhydric alcohol rosin ester dispersion, (b)a carboxyl-containing rosin derived resinous composition having an acid value of from 30 to 150 and a softening point of from -25 C to 150 C, at least partially neutralized with a counter ion capable of carrying the resinous composition into solution or dispersion in water, (c) a supplemental surfactant, and (d) a rubber.
