Don't feel bad, Bill!  My bedtime is 9 p.m.  If I'm not in bed,
I'll fall asleep where I am...  ";-)

The experience you had with Perflex is much the same as was found by
many, usually after spending much time and money putting it on, only
to find it rotten two or three years later!  The odd thing was that
about six or seven years ago I found the sample that had been sent to
me when the product first appeared on the market (1970s, if I recall
correctly) and the sample was still pliable and strong.

It seems that the manufacturer changed the formula for some reason,
and the new product was junk!  The original stuff was apparently quite
good.  Too bad they changed it.
