Re: How can we drive on this new floor?
So today i went with my mom to buy a sheet of the flooring material. As has been stated before, it was $30 for a 4'x8'x.125" sheet, of a material that seemed extremely close to the look and feel of what people have already described. As soon as we got home, i took one of the new wheels and slid it on the flooring. At first, when we first opened the kit, i took a wheel and slid it on a table nearby, remarking at how there was no traction with the table surface. Well, compared to the actual flooring, that table would be much better. There is soooo little friction between the wheels and the flooring. i am actually quite scared by how little traction we are going to be working with. earlier someone was talking about these wheels being similar to those of previous years, in that they might deform a little to adjust to the uneven surface of the floor. That is not going to happen, as these wheels are very hard plastic, which will not be changing it's shape ever.
