Considering that stuff is about $7-10 a square foot, and similar material can be had for $1-2 a square foot. Its safe to say that pretty much no one here has used it.

It's the best stuff out there..period!
No prep work, no cuts from foil no rollers needed. It's very pliable and forms easily with just your fingertips.

I use it a bunch. It is the best I've ever used. Very easy to apply and work with. I've had great results.

I used Raamat (pronounced Ram Mat). I think that's how it's spelled. Works good for me and was a good price.
