Ok i removed the (contact or mylar) unsure bbut think it was mylar as it was thicker than what i cover the kids books with. It was about 35 degrees in the shed so i thaught id give it a go very slowly im pretty happy with the results. minimal paint loss where the mylar ended half way down the pf. you will see in one of the pics the shape of the missing mylar mentioned in an earlier post. also the line in one of the pictures from the edge of the mylar was thankfully easily cleaned up and not a wear mark.
