: In the latest project on the news page, Brian didn't use Lexan, Mylar, etc. He used.... contact paper?! From the photos, it looks wicked-cool! I think I'll cover TwistyGrips with the same stuff, but does anyone know how it holds up to wear? It appears to SHINE; what does contact paper *really* look like? Does it actually feel like paper or is it waxy, or what? And finally, where do you get this stuff?
You can find contact paper at most department stores and home building centers. It is usually used for relining shelves and such. I have never tried testing it for durability. It feels like slick vinyl to me.
