Hi again Mark,

What did you use to rough up the surface of the foam?

Thanks,

Dave

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Critter: You could use a rough grade of sandpaper or steel wool.

I used a surform tool. Chews up the surface real good! It's the out of focus yellow thing in this pic.
