    if you don't know what your doing and want it butchered and short then yes


    If you actually know what your doing you will fit it properly

    Hey thanks for the reply! Just the answer I was after. The only thing I have ever fitted it with is concave. There was a bit of a dispute with another "fitter" who done it this way! long story! I hope karma really works! I phoned karndean technical too and although they said it wasn't a recommended way of doing it they didn't say it was 100% wrong which I thought they would or perhaps should! Thanks again , it was one of them ones you know the answer but needed to ask question.cheers

    Now you got to Spill! Tell us what this butcher did...!
    Heated up the plank till it expanded 20mm then curved it up a wall to cut in? then it slowly turned into 'coved karndean'

    ha ha! Well not far away! Was hooking round radiator pipes and door checks! He thought this was the way to do it! This was a while ago right enough. Was asked to leave site by someone I do some sub contracting for. Tail between legs! Still had the brass neck to send in an invoice!Was told he would have to wait 12 months (The fitting guarantee the company gives) for his money. There was a couple of replacements and remedials in that time. The remaining balance was about 1/3 of original invoice. Took it to small claims and ending up getting 3/4 of it!
