It's kinda funny how things work out.

In the last 3 weeks we've tried everything we read on these forums, and it was always one thing or another that went wrong. Finally, last night we came up with our own solution to this that hasn't been suggested on these forums. What we found left some black residue behind, so once we test 2 more materials that are coming in Thursday I'll post what we've done. I knew once I found this stuff when spelunking through TrueValue in Week 2 that we should have used it right away, but alas I'm not the only one on the team.

My tip: stay away from Lowe's and Home Depot when in a search of local hardware stores; they're too big and you'll spend way too much time looking for the right thing. Start with the mom and pop shops that are small and have everything closer together without all of the non-relevant items in between them. On top of that, usually you can touch/sample a material without opening an entire box. Then, once you have an idea of what you want, purchase the sample and test on the prototype.
