My Boot nealy done
I bought a 5 metre roll by 730mm wide and used about half of it just under so got loads left for other bits now :) as it matches the other bits in my car. It was £15 delivered all in and came in a day or two very good service

not really confident about the glue I used on the fabric at the moment dude and it takes ages too .....:( took most of my day yesterday to do a set. I can however put photo's of how I have done it step by step ...it's easy just really time consuming.

It's the trade stuff (same as we used to use in work, green tin brown/green glue) feckin stinks probably need a couple more coats on the fabric to bridge the gaps in the criss cross.

:) But I will need a different type of glue for leatherette. Evo stick doesn't seem to be holding it as there is like a fabric hessian type structure on the back of the viynl..... Any suggestions for leatherette to mdf bonding?:confused: :headvswal

woodwork Router
a jigsaw is shite for this type of work (ok for one off and roughing one advantage they are less messy) a router is gonna be quicker and neater ..... ps on you cut out don't forget to take into account the direction of rotation of the cutter as it will smash the outside edge out of your worktop cutout for your sink. either leave the last bit in and nip it off with a block plane or flip the top over and reset your pattern or stragiht edge

woodwork Router
If you're cutting worktops ...bit wear will depend on material. Tungsten disposable blade cutters are the hardest wearing, you will need a router with 1/2" shaft not 1/4"(though can be done slowly but liable to snap) Take no more than 10mm per cut. Yes you can cramp a stragiht edge down and use it against the base of router or a guide bush BUT DO NOT use quick cramp type cramps use threaded cramps or they will vibrate loose!!!!
