: My old roommate used to be an artist and had this stuff around all the time.
: hows the durability?
: does it shrink/stretch?
: btw, if it's for a control panel I went and got a cheap scratched counter top (black) from builders square for 10bucks. I was able to make 2 control panels out of it. No need for any coverings. Drilling was a pain since you have to worry about chipping at the time of drilling.
: For my next control panel, I think I'm going to go with plywood and plexi. So this might be perfect!
Next time try putting a large piece of masking tape down before you drill the holes. I know this works for long cuts to minimize chipping of laminates and wood.
