Dew shield
      #2082589 - 12/30/07 01:53 AM Attachment (33 downloads)

I made a dew shield out of foam from a mechanics mat.The ones you get from walmart that link together.I used Gorrila glue to hold it together but it doesn't seem to be that tough.What(Black)tape would you recommend to help it out?I tried packing tape but that doesn't stick to the foam that well.It is on there now to hold it together so the glue can set better.

I've heard that 'gaffers tape' is good. Its used to tape wires down on stage sets.
