Where are the crafty Inmates

[South Shield]

As I have mentioned elsewhere I am putting together a walk in humi.

I was given an idea from a fellow inmate (Mikey I think) to laminate bands to make my floor I love the idea.

I have a few questions for the crafty Inmates.

1. I am just going to use one side finished 3/4 inch plywood for the floor and laminate the bands to it. I am putting it down on concrete do I need any padding rubber backing underneath it?


Put building paper underneath the plywood to keep moisture out. Probably better to put building paper over the concrete then 1/2" thick OSB. Then you can hilti the OSB to the concrete so you can tack nail your plywood floor to the substrate

2. What is the best way to glue the bands to the wood (Product names)? Also how long to cure prior to sealing.


Gorilla glue or use a glue gun


3. What is the best way to seal it after, I am assuming polyurethane but is there something better?

polyurethane is too liquidy and will damage your bands, use epoxy

3. The bands are mostly still circles what is the best way to seperate them without having them peel?


use a hair dryer to loosen the glue


4. Should I flatten the bands before gluing them so they stick down?

yes

As usual all thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
