Ive used it at one time and what i remember is, it was very sticky to put on,that is it would stick on the bits you didnt want it to and,it was hellish for trying to get the air bubbles out,,,then again it might have been just me.
I used the Fablon Plus Rustic Oak in our Swift Corniche 1991, the results are excellent. I will post some pic's soon.
The original printed wood grain effect had started to peel in a lot of places, it could be removed with a finger nail. The surface below is yellow, we did'nt like that look so explored different finishes and found the fablon plus best. It is thicker than the normal fablon and is designed for kitchen doors etc.,.
The crucial part is preparation, surfaces must be dust free, also I wiped them with methylated spirit before applying.
Start with a small door or panel to get the feel of applying, you can cut the fablon to the right size using a sharp ;stanley' or craft knife because it does not shrink like some have done.
Use a cloth to smooth out bubbles. I used 3 rolls, I believe they are 3m long by 60cm wide. Cost £9.95 a roll and worth every penny.
Over the years I have tried Paint and Grain, never been happy with the result.
im just about to cover the caravan door (as in front door) using fablon.after ive had to totaly rebuild the door using only the outside tin sheet all the rest is new.
i got mine from wilko's at £4. a roll with many differnt pattens/colours to choose from.and they also do larger rolls at £5 a roll
