My quality control tester...

Drnick:
Please pull that contact paper from the top and replace it .  I got good results with 3M Carbon fibre,  I know that Griffindodd used it on his Marvel Build and I have seen it on some other projects.  You won't get that bubbling that you are currently getting, Just sand down the Mdf & put a touch of primer or something on any cut edges.  Go on do it, I bet you won't be happy until you do.

Nice work ! I discovered that contact stuff can be a real pain to get smooth & stick properly. Took us a few attempts and a few wasted sheets of the stuff. (It seems to stick to the workbench, the floor, and the bin ok though!)

Like you said, I found a sharp blade on the holes is a must, and it only sticks to the smooth stuff. Any unprimed cut edges just wont stay in contact with it.

Look forward to seeing what you do next...
