Title: New Game Matt Project Launching
Post by: Alfrik on 13 June 2011, 09:45:07 PM
Well, having assembled my new game 6x10 game table in my garage, it's time to make the game matt for it. The base material is an old painting canvas, ripped out the seam and will use the brush-able caulking to "glue" the seam back together, but much flatter than the sewn version was.

Yep, that's a yard stick on the canvas for scale comparison :)
Also in the process of stretching and ironing it a bit flatter. Once the dyed brush-able caulking is applied and dries, the weight will flatten it out nicely.... *crosses fingers*

The matt has received its base color coat prior to the colored Kel Seal and Flocking procedure.
