Vinyl for units
I want to change the vinyl on my autosleeper units to something brighter and lighter. Can anyone recommend a good supplier. Can I just stick it on top of the old stuff?

Re: Vinyl for units
You mean sheets of sticky back plastic, to go on the front of cupboard units? You can find loads of that on ebay....just make sure it's big enough.

If you decide to remove the old vinyl layer, it is possible:
I used a heat gun and wallpaper scraper. I then had to go over with a rotary sander and white spirits.
Proper time consuming though, and the glue left by the old vinyl will mean that you get through loads of sanding discs

Make sure it is 110% clean when you do it as even dust will show through.
