Ugh.

I learned the hard way that stuff is crap when it comes to cutting and sanding.

I wonder if it's MUCH cheaper than proper PVC? I noticed for a while lots of the Bandai Candy toys switched to that too.

I hope that's why, because about the only upside I can see to SE is that it's stiffer and tends to hold its shape better than PVC, especially on thin parts.

Still hate the stuff, though.
