Might pop some bits on ebay in the next few weeks that i have done.

Nice find and nice job Ian. Gonna order some myself and give it a go. When I inevitably muck it up and get frustrated I'll pm you and ask you to do it, for the small fee of course.

You can't muck it up, cos you just warm it up again and just have another go! as long as you don't cut it short!

The wife's hairdryer laid on the table with something to support it, means you can then use both hands to stretch and fit around. Pull around and stick to the back and wait until you have finished the whole piece before running a scalpel around and trim excess off. That way you can always reheat and have another go.

Have a look on youtube and you will see you can crunch this stuff up, reheat and it goes near enough totally flat and smooth. (i used the 3m di-noc stuff)

Done a few more and taken photos before and after, these photos were taken before i spray with clear lacquer which i prefer to be honest. I will get some photos of the ones done in clear lacquer which also look pretty good.
