What do we know about partsexpress vinyl?

If you go fabric, you have to go all the way.  Make your cabinet huggable.

The PE vinyl used to be fantastic.  It was stiff (would hide surface imperfections), heavy duty, had a surface that was almost impossible to dig into and the adhesive was crazy, even on bare MDF.  You had one chance to put it down right.

However, a few years back, they suddenly started shipping a different product. It was softer, you can see imperfections through it, and the adhesive, while not terrible, is nothing to write home about.  It wouldn't be my first choice for a quality job, but it's definitely better than contact paper.  I really wish the original product was still available.  :(

Hmm, I'm trying not to laminate and I don't want to paint. Any other suggestions? Anyone use this stuff recently?

For those wanting vinyl over 24 inches wide, I would suggest looking at This Old Game.

Their vinyl looks great and sticks well but there is a catch....it shows surface imperfections.  With this in mind, surface preparation is critical....if you invest the time, this stuff will look great.

While we are on the subject, if anyone can recommend a nice rigid vinyl to hide minor surface imperfections I would appreciate it.  It doesn't need to be very wide.
