I did use the "trim and stick" stuff on some shelves in a computer

getting the bubbles out... used a credit card. Razor knife for the
edges after it was in place. Probably better than what was on there in
the first place...

I was being only half-facetious...

The other alternative if the substrate isn't _too_ bad is laminate (as
in Formica-type, but wouldn't seem the pieces would be worth the
expense/trouble...
