Anyone use Happs Vinyl to finish a cabinet?

Knievel:
The Happ stuff is thicker/heavier/tougher. I couldn't get it to fold over an edge without some degree of bubbling so you'd have to cut it flush. That being said it's great for front panels, CP tops/boxes.

It is a very fine texture, no problems with sideart.

It's way too expensive normally. Ponyboy might be able to get you a decent price if it's not on sale at Happ.

That's a bummer. I was hoping to run it from the base all the way up the front, and fold it over the front edge of my Rebirth-style rotating control panel. The problem is that would require a bend of 135 degrees. I'm hesitant to try cutting it flush because I'm sure the vinyl would pop up at the edge over time, especially as the control panel was rotated and got some heavy use.

Knievel, did you use this stuff on the Xmen cab you did?

Finally--an opportunity to offer some advice as opposed to always asking for it!

Well done, sdrob04. How long ago did you do that? Is it holding up well? The same thought occurred to me, but I haven't been able to test the theory out. I'm glad to here it's a sound theory.
