Default Checker board covering???

I thought I read on here recently about covering that is in a checker board pattern, but I cant figure out where it was.
Anybody out there with a link to Tower or someone else who sells this stuff?

It is great but at twice the price of their solids, it had better be!

The checks on most factory coverings is too small. If you are careful about making sure your squares are the same size, (and are square), you can easily apply them by hand and not have any problem. Just line them up before you start ironing them on. Actually larger squares work better for this method. I used 3" squares to cover my Slowpoke. Start ironing them on one edge and work all the bubbles out the other side. Most people use too much pressure on the iron. Let the heat and the weight of the iron do the work. Getting in a hurry always screws things up.
