I recommend doing some research on vinyl as well before you decide to purchase it. Vinyl production is extremely toxic, creating dioxins as a by-product. DO NOT burn vinyl or use a hot knife on this material. Burning it releases particulates containing dioxins into the air. Dioxins are highly carcinogenic. I am no expert so check me on this if you don't agree.
