The type I used to buy there in the late 70s/early 80s was the VHT
brand, and it was excellent stuff. Couple good coats, into the oven,
voila - thick wrinkle. Not sure if it's still available considering
how regulations have changed since then.

One word of warning: cure it well, or it will remain soft for years. I
have a National cabinet here that still has things stick to it if left
on top for any amount of time.

Robert - is your green wrinkle the same color used on FAA/Airport gear
by Press Wireless and others?
