Yes I did, using trimline lining tape, it can usually be found in generic model shops, the sorts of places that sell model aircraft/cars etc. I think back2bay6 sells it too.

Ooooooh.

This is an interesting development. I was wondering about it for my own lining job but wasn't sure as the only job I had seen before was a very poor job. This job however, takes that assumption and completly trashes it - I'm now quite a fan of that 'Supe' of yours :D

Could you possibly provide a quick guide to it, what thickness/width is best [2mm?], how to apply it and how to prevent it from peeling off after a few months use?

Many thanks

That looks absolutely brilliant, the lining really finishes it off nicely.
Well done :D
