Step-By-Step Guide: Additional Ideas
Preparation
For best results, make sure you are working with a square tabletop.
(We used a 16" x 16" tabletop). Sand the table and wipe it down to
remove all traces of dust. Paint the table with your lighter base color
and let it dry for 24 hours. Plan the size and placement of your board
to make sure it will fit the tabletop.
