I haven't started anything with Zipflex yet but I have a rosette waiting for some right now! Awesome stuff!

Not to hijack the thread but what do some of you guys think of the A4 kerfing? Haven't seen that stuff yet!

I love the A4. I plan to use it on all my builds. It's expensive, yes, but SO easy to work with. And it looks great.

I am loving this thread. But it would also be cool if those posting would say what type of zipflex they are using- i.e. pearl, abalam, paua, etc.

Yes, post you're pics and state the product type. I'm interested on the brown lipped oyster shell.
