Fablon used to be cheap from what I remember, I need to cover a fridge in the utility that has seen better days.

Does anyone know where I can get sticky back plastic which doesnt cost the earth, doesnt have to be fablon but a copy would be ok, rack your brains for me, would be greatful :beer:

    yes forgot about b & m & wilkos.....b and q is so expensive, but if its for a kitchen I can understand as this is for utility design is not so important . The actual fablon is so expensive I am guessing the discount stores will be similar, which is fine by me !!

    Why not get a can of Hammerite or Smoothrite metal paint and give it a respray?
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?

    the drying time to be honest as the cats and dogs are out there, so this way is easy & relatively cheap. Hamerite is expensive for an old freezer.

    Have seen Fablon (or equivalent) in 'Boyes'....I don't think this chain of bargain shops is countrywide but if you are in the East Midlands or North East you probably know of a branch.

    ditto with the Wilko suggestion - they definately sell it there. Or there's lots for sale on eBay
