Default Sili Skin.

I find it difficult to work with. Also, I have some laying around which I haven't used and it is useless. It is difficult to peel away from the backing because it's old. Anyone else have problems with this stuff? FishHawk

It's never been easy to work with, but at some point they did change it a bit to make it easier to peel the backing away and without a doubt with a enough time it gets even harder to remove the backing.

I've also found if you expose the stuff to low temps (not sure how low) it tends to craze the material and make it even harder to separate from it's backing.

While the results in some cases are world class, working with the stuff has been very irritating for me as well.

Default understand that the plug in didn't play

perhaps a bit late

But in light of the comments on the petroleum based products called in question
