Black Adhesive Vinyl - UK supplier needed
« on: February 14, 2006, 06:44:49 pm »
I am looking for a UK source for this material.

My google and ebay searches have yielded nothing and I am not happy with my painted and varnished finish on my CP. Can anyone help?

Cheers

I went to a big B&Q in Chiswick in London (I was just passing) and they didnt have any at all. 

I have been half looking for a little while so I think I will try my more local stores.  Thanks for starting this thread :) hugely useful

Thanks Guys,

I have been looking online at both B&Q and Focus and I cannot find anything that looks remotely like the right thing. I even went to my local B&Q warehouse in Wigan and got blank looks when I asked about Vinyl.

Is it sometimes referred to by a different name?

Regards

I think at B&Q its called fablon, I have bought some from B&Q before. Its usually somewhere by the wallpaper and is using for lining the inside of drawers etc.

EDIT: I've just found some online at Focus, couldnt find it online at B&Q although they do sell it. Link http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/icat/c130311

Nice one Hippo,

I will trot down there at the weekend and take a look. I guess that Fablon is a tradename. Is this self adhesive or will I need a bit of glue?

I had some of the black stuff from B&Q and it is self adhisive. It sticks well to MDF etc as long as it is dust free.

Happy to Help  ;D
