So yesterday I went to my local hobby store interested in buying a healing cutting mat but the size I wanted was damn near $40.00, so I told the hobby store to STFU and walked across the street to the ACE Hardware across the street and grabbed all the materials I would need to make my own Slip-Free Work Surface for my desk.
All in all the total materials cost was around $7.00.
Materials Needed:
One - 24" x 48" piece of 1/32' thick
MDF board cut down into two 18" x 24" pieces
one roll of shelf grip liner cut into seven 1 1/4" x 18" strips
PVA glue
PVA dedicated paint brush
Materials gathered.
The desk I am trying to protect.
Measuring the
MDF board to make sure it fits on the table.
Cutting Grip Liner down into 1 1/4" x 18" strips.
All the grip liner strips cut down to size.
Applying PVA glue to the backside of the
MDF board.
3 strips glued down.
All 7 strips glued down.
PVA glue all dry and now I have a slip-free workspace to build and work on my minis.
Take that local over priced hobby store! So yeah, if you dont want to spend tons of money on the cutting mats this is a quick and cheap alternative. All in all it took about an hour to do all the work. Might have been shorter but Futurama was on. Let me know what you guys think. I may update this later with some other accessories I may build for it.
