Been away awhile I though this had died, ok questions:

Quote:
Could you tell me what type of fabric you used for covering the traps? or even where you purchased it?
I got it from some little local fabric/craft type store. Cant remember what it was called but I could blow through it FAIRLY easily. Sorry cant tell you more then that.

Quote:
how did you fold the fabric on the corners? looks terrific....
Lucky for me the miss is a display artist so she does it for a living and did it for me. Its not that hard tho (but hard to explain in text). Think of it like wrapping an gift. Fold staple, fold staple, just remember to pull it tight.

Quote:
So how are you positioning the traps in the room then, considering you can't attach them to the walls?
See the very first picture in this thread, two are standing up just on there frames like in the finished picture and the other is laying on its side under my desk. Given my already crampt room I didnt have much choice in placement.

Good job OP, why didn't you use the RW5 slabs it has over twice the
density ??!
ummm I got the spec from this forum somwhere. I also read that the densist isnt nessarly the best. Im definatley no expert maybe Glenn, Ethan or Frank could explain more for you on this? They know infinitely more then I do on this topic!

Quote:
but if this stuff is covered only in fabric in the room where you work all day, is this healthy? is there a chance you inhale small amounts?
Nah man im far more afraid of what I inhale on the London tube tbh
At the end of the day it sits undisturbed so nothings coming out, maybe if your beating it with a small child every day some crap might come out but I gave up doing that along time ago.

Finally I encourge you guys to get the job done, my room is still far from perfect but the traps did help. For the price its a valuable upgrade.
