Thanks Roy ,
You are right, I did not know.  the cheap stuff I paid is vinyl .

Well linoleum vs vinyl googling kind of answered my questions but most
of the data relate to flooring. I am using my vinyl sheet in all my
cabinets to replace the 30+ years old veneer and I am wondering if its a
good thing over time.

So Same question with vinyl ? ;-)

Thanks

Chris
