In Response To: Can you sand it and coat again? (Brian Nystrom)

Hi Brian;

The vinyl spray doesn't take to sanding well. The stuff I have ("Rustoleum Specialty Vinyl", $3/can at Home Depot) dries very tough, leathery-like and flexible. It's a great product, I just have to find a use for it! On the factory finished minicell surface it looks like naugahyde (sp?). On a sanded minicell surface it dries like 40 grit sandpaper, not very sandable. It does stick tenaciously to the foam, as well.

Best Regards, Spidey
