jsbodies, I like it alot better. The material takes about 3 coats if you brush it on(I use a sponge brush, with a semi-light first coat) and 2 if you spray it. The only thing to watch for is the cut lines, they need to be thru or you may lift the material where your not ready to yet. Since it doesn't stick back down as well as divelys, it's more important. But, at the same time it happens less then it does with the divelys, which seems to stick to itself too good, even after a good cut, imo.
It also doesn't stretch nearly as much as the divelys, so it pulls off cleaner and brings the material with it that it masked off,
.
Oh, it also rarely cares if you use a new blade or not, I have cut as many as 30 bodies on one #11 blade!!! Seems to be easier on body life because of this too!...........If you have any questions at first let me know, after going thru about 10 gallons the past two years I know it pretty well, ha............Jim

Also, keep in mind it is transparent blue and I use a light to see my marker lines thru it for cutting. Took a little while to adjust, but no problem now. If you mask an entire body a little white or silver before any cutting well make it easier to see the cut lines......Jim

We just had our local club two day trophy race and I managed to get 1st in concourse, actually 1st and 3rd but I withdrew the 3rd place to let more people get trophies.
