Paint the whole floor grey before you move. Use regular flat grey paint, one coat and it'll look fine. I use to paint my garage floor every other year from all the oil and paint and everything I would get on it. I finally epoxy sealed it and that has saved me from having to do it every other year (I would of left it but my garage wasn't used for parking, more of a workshop/laundry room/workout/welding/paint booth so I liked it looking nice) but if you paint it light grey your landlord will be happy because it'll look brand new and it'll last about 5 years with regular use(2 years with extreme use) you'll be long gone by then
I noticed you commented in the video that you have trouble with organizing all of da tools you use! I just inivested in the peg board and put it up in my shop and bought two universal peg board peg sets, it makes organizing tool soooo much nicer! :D
I think you nailed that unicorn call. My garage is the complete opposite your garage, basically everything you have organized (paint, glue, and other little things) I have unorganized. Only thing I have organized is my tools, I will literally start questioning myself if I find a philips head screwdriver in the flathead screwdriver drawer.
Essential tool: Belt Sander, the kind you sit on a work bench that has the round spinning sander on the side, not the handheld tool. That is great for when you need to get rid of an entire back section of some thick EVA foam, or create a uniform bevel, also, it spits out a lot of EVA dust which, if you've got the dark grey or black EVA, and want to do a volcanic ash effect, you can let the dust spraying off of it go onto the pieces then put down a layer of whatever would work to get the dust to stick...clear coat? I don't know, I'm actually planning on doing this for the finishing touches on my scifi dark elf cosplay (original character) and if anyone knows a way to get this to stick permanently let me know.
I think it would pretty dope if you had a glass case presenting one of your coolest cosplays, kinda like green arrow or batman has in their lair. It would definitely be a plus in your shop
something I'd look forward to having in my shop is....a shop. I literally have a 1m x 1m counter to work on right now. looking forward to building a decent shop one day soon. Right now I just browse hardware stores and look really creepy ogling power tools :P
I'm so jealous of your shop!

Oh nice! This is great advice thank you!
The rug covering the contact cement was hilarious. Fantastic, A+, 10/10, pro cosplayer status

That's all really awesome!
Thank you!
nice place, always wanted my own place for hobby and gaming :))
I use a vice, an anvil, and a belt sander a lot
Your shop is so cool :)
i really need to set up a shop myself, i'll get around to all the cosplays i want to do if i don't
I would love you and Adam to stream. Hope you get internet soon. Good luck on your next cosplay.
I might be thinking of a different glue, but cant contact cement be reheated and then can dry again? Maybe heat the glue and scrap it off?
Any suggestions for sewing machines ?
I use a viking opal 650!
Omg thank you for responding! You're workshop is amazing and goals!
I am in love.... O_O
use a heat gun it turns the contact cement to liquid again i found that out the hard way when i was re heating my armor and it came unglued

You don't need to etch the concrete either. Don't listen to the people at Home Depot, regular grey paint will work. It'll look great
