You can use the stuff to make patterns for all upholstery, even seats, draw the pattern you want on the door, copy to the plastic then tack the plastic to your upholstery board and drill and cut right through it, peel it off and throw it away. I wish I could stake claim to this trick but it came from a great interior shop. Best of luck Mat
Thanks for the tip!
