Now I am a happy girl. I got to Lowe's by 8am, got the exact sheets I wanted, Lowe's brand, 3/4" very dense styrofoam, no plastic or foil on either side and the price...$12.28, my birthdate! And they are a lovely light sage green, sweet!
With this dense styrofoam I won't have to tape all the edges like the other ones, which were crumbly and dusty. And I found a roll of duck tape in the potting shed, which I commandeered for my use. I will only need to reinforce the hanging part, still using the washers, and will be ready to roll much faster.
I found an opened package of Command hooks at the store (seriously, meant to be, I must say) and tried it out on the thicker foam. Fits like a glove.
Yup, it was worth the trip.
I'll be returning the first set of panels next week when I go back to town.
In less than 15 minutes, the panels were hung! I am so so so happy. Now to add the Command hooks, for stabilizing...
I am jelous.... first where did you get all that WALL....second; you have a seriously nice design wall .... you putting flannel or batting on panels?
ReplyDeleteI am going to go look for some walls.... see ya later
I am following your progress on the design wall. This could be a possible solution for me. Keep us posted and keep up the pictures. I'm a visual learner. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMore explanation needed on how the hooks are used. Do you cover the walls with flannel? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad this worked out for you! The design wall look wonderful. I may have to copy this idea for my new studio!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I'm excited. I have been using foamcore, but mine is too fat for this. I will buy some more and play copycat.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to add this to your Helpful stuff List! Which, by the way, has helped me tons :P
Actually that isn't what I said
