I overlapped one sheet over the other, and then I cut through both sheets about halfway through the overlap. This ensures a perfect match between the adjoining sheets since they were both cut with the same stroke. If it isn't clear, I'll try to explain it better.
After the cut, you will have to go back and peel up the edge on the overlapping side to take the trimmed piece out, but when that is removed you lay it back down flat and the edge matches up perfect. The photo makes the seam appear more visible than it really is because the camera flash highlights the details. I doubt a casual observer would even notice the seam unless it was pointed out. I think the textured finish helps mask the seam, too.

Yeah, that's pretty sharp looking stuff. As I SUCK at Illustrator, I belive this is an avenue I will take for covering my CP.

I've been on the search, but came up dry so far. I'll keep looking.

Umm, I guess it could have been very easy for me to just flip it over and look at the backing paper... :)
So I would assume it is manufactured in China, but who else distributes this material, I have no idea.

Oh, sure........ :P
Heh. That should help some. Thanks!
