Am I alone in hating this nasty sticky stuff? I have to remove it from a bunch of kitchen cabinets and a large pantry, it just seems to be a crud magnet.

Not a fan either. Last place it was really stuck down so only option was sanding it out or taking it off like wallpaper.

I'm going to try and use a blow dryer to get it up.

Ohhhhhh Matron!

I hate it, too. I just put down paper towels and then change them out when they get icky.

When we moved into our house 3 years ago, the kitchen drawers were stained and very ugly. I got a liner that looks just like cork and put that in all the drawers. And 3 years later, it still looks pretty good if you ask me. But of course, if it didn't look good, I can imagine that it would be a huge PITA to remove.

You can get clear stuff, which is pretty cool. When we moved in a year ago, our kitchen cabinets were SO disgusting I refused to put our dishes away on the shelves. I lined all of them in the clear paper and felt a lot more comfortable... until we re-did the entire kitchen over Christmas.

Now it's BEAUTIFUL!

But yeah... that flowery stuff? Eugh.

I use a sponge latice thing. Sort of rubbery. And black. How I like my men.

Cork would be nice, I'm only responsible for removing this stuff.
This is flowery, but they made such a mess off putting it in, nothing is straight.

I had that feeling about you, not sure I'd go black though, doesn't go with the colour scheme.

E-Gads - contact paper. That is so old.

It was the greatest thing to use back in the 60's and 70's.

In fact when I moved into my apartment in 1976, the back wall of the dinette was papered in flocked green/gold contact paper with black flocking. When it started to peel off, they used staples to hold it up. What a bi**h to remove.

I'm now having "sticky back plastic" flashbacks to those Blue Peter demos of how to make rooms for your Barbie/Cindy dolls. Toothpaste caps for cups and all that.

Your predilections aside, that stuff makes a great alternative to felt, for lining the cut outs on rifle racks. And, 'cos it's more grippy, a layer at the bottom of a vertical rack stops the butts from sliding around.

I use that latice stuff too. Its a lot nicer to line the cupboards with, in our case they were brand new, along with the house.

It lets air in too.
