JonMack Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Basically now I got pallets in my room (see happy thread) but my floor is real slippy so I cant ride it. I had a rug but my housemates took it out so I don't have it anymore I need to know what I can put on the floor to make it sticky/unslippy, but not something like... spill coke on it, cos that will just go sticky and smelly.Nightmare.EDIT: and don't say wank on it dirty bastards.

Mike Deere Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Degreaser? Or just go get a can of spray mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 How about thinking the other way round... Put some rubber feet on one of the pallets and strap the lot together? (eBay -> Ratchet strap -> a few quid = Job done ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Haha yeah de-greaser might work! Spray mount would make my floor all sticky and stuff though wouldnt it :/ hmm dilemma!Good plan Ad, but my tyres slip too!

Revolver Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 go for the coke!it won't smellalternatively, stuff like spray lacquer makes a finish that tyre sticks to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 How about if i diluted some water with coke, and then mopped that on, you reckon that will help? Will get the rubber mat and ratchet straps too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Get a rug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yeah I wanna nick the rug back from my housemates, its in the living room, they swapped it out for a table while i was away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 If it's a totally sealed floor (I.e. no cracks/gaps in the floorboards) then spilling coke won't be that much of a problem. You can just throw some water down and it will mop up really easily. On the other hand I'm not sure it will help the grip though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I figured it would go all sticky and be super awesome. Monty brake spray anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 You may well have found the one alowable use for tar in trials......alternatively, that could be silly messy and totally screw the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hmm, forget the damage to the floor, with a few of these it won't move... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'd wrap the bottom pallet with inner tubes. Just wash the tubes first so they're grippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like an awesome plan. I've got loads of old inner tubes as you can imagine.
