173 Lapsteel P8240127

My take on Shane's 2x4 lap steel. It's two 1x4s stacked up and covered with "marble" shelf paper. The adhesive on one side was a b***h to work with. I'l use paint to finish the next one.

  • That looks awesome! Super idea.

  • Thumbs up!

  • cool.

  • Very nice!  You could have told me it was really marble and fooled me!

  • Sure looks like marble.  If I did it, it would look like bubbles.

  • Thanks for the comments Unc' John.  The "finish" is a wrap of plastic, adhesive backed, CON-TAC (tm) shelf paper printed with a grey, marble pattern. It was a misery getting it to stick to the instrument with no bubbles. I ruined one piece getting it stuck to itself. I'm still not happy over the way I got it to stick (it didn't take well to the corners) but it looks good from a distance. Next one gets painted. Oh - I got the shelf paper from Amazon if you want to try it on a build. I think it will work better if you don't try bending around corners.

  • Nice.  What is that finish?
