Finishing Touches on the Set Up Area

The thick rubber sheeting finally arrived from Grainger. We were having a slower day so Dakota and I figured we might as well try to be productive. It took about 5 tubes of silicone, box of short coarse screws and a lot of courage to free hand box cut the rubber matting. We originally wanted to order a single 1/4" thick piece but the shape would cause us to have to order a seriously expensive piece so we opted for 12"x36" sheets. Check it out...


Doesn't Dakota look serious here, it's the shirt. Took us a while to figure out the optimal layout where we wouldn't have a small piece on the perimeter.


Siliconed down and waiting for the screws as we just didn't trust that silicone alone would be durable enough for some of the people who seem to do their best at trashing our shop. Kind of like that mentality where you throw all trash out the window of your car teenage phase, remember those days? Here's the finished product!
