Yes, I love it. Works great. Glue was easy to use, no fumes. I'm currently painting and still love all of it and every bit has been done in my garage with the door closed. If you click on my name to the left you can look at my albums. Check out my covering pics.

Overall, work load wise, the spraying of filler/UV block and paint is generally comparable to poly fiber except the fumes of course. The glue is where I think the main difference is. It REALLY is so easy to work with. Put a little down on the boundary of what you're covering, let it tack up, stick the covering to it, reposition as neccessary, run the iron over it, and soak some through the top. Tapes seem to apply much better with a lot less edges sticking up to iron down. Unused glue goes back into the container.

You tube has a bunch of sample videos of how to apply it and that's all I needed to get mine done. The official STC manual is online for free as well. They also have a free DVD set you can get through their website. I bought all of my materials through Marvin Haught at http://www.aircraftfinishes.com/ He's a great guy with fast service and is the closest distributor to us being in Arkansas.
