Ripped the carpet off of the cradles on my Cat-Trax and replaced it with foam.

I got it from a buddy who got the foam tiles in with some other odd butt deal he was involved in. Literally an entire 8' pickup box full of these frickin' things. They are the snap together, LEGO looking, anti-fatigue tiles. I think any of the chain builder stores have them. Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, etc....

-Peeled off the carpet (which yielded quite easily btw), then half butt peeled off the glue that was still on there. I'm lazy and didn't get too carried away.
-Rough cut the foam on the tablesaw. I gotta be honest here, that was pretty f-ing stupid. Foam doesn't cut nicely on a tablesaw.
-Sprayed the cradle and the backside of the foam. Waited for it to dry. I used some contact adhesive for doing laminate countertops. If this sh!t don't hold its because I didn't evenly apply.
-Stuck the foam on. Used a laminate roller to get it good-n'-stuck
-Trimmed it with my hot knife I use for cutting line.
-Stepped back and admired my awesomeness.








Two reasons for doing this.
1. I can never find my wheels when they're in a stack with 50 others on the beach. I hope they stand out a bit better this way.
2. The foam won't hang on to sand or little rocks like carpet does.


Not an original idea, I ganked it from Dennis Key at Barefoot Studios. He's using a sort of Hydro-Turf I think.
