What I experienced with Reflectex and the amount of clean-up.... you can have the remainder of the roll I bought.
Eventually my hatch will break down to the point I'll have one made of either stainless steel or aluminum with welded corners.
Way I figure it... if you have a Heki it's already broke and can be replaced with far better materials at a better price.
