<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://lamin-x.com">http://lamin-x.com</a><!-- m --> - normal thickness, "17 mil" - its about as thick as a heavy duty rubber glove (probably a sister joke in that one). Warming the lamin-x up to give it some compliance and applying it dry from one edge to the other was best, doing it with soapy water didnt let it adhere to the lights very well at all.

I think it was $18 in the store, comes with a scraper and a few attatchments for the gun, its really nice, has 2 settings - hot and burn the house down. This thing puts out some serious heat, and you have to be careful when using it on vinyl, lamin-x, etc becuase it heats things up really quick and will shrink the edges up.

I'm going to keep it registered for now - makes it easier to shake down any problems I might have and bed in brakes - and I can drive it to summit if I want for instructing.
