RE: Eric's Spray Booth Expertise
Thanks Dan, I think I get the general idea but as you say a picture is worth a 1000 words.

These boards are fixed to the peg board with elevator bolts. I found these bolts by luck at the hardware store. In short, they are flat head bolts that actually look a lot like a valve from a 4-stroke engine. Their shank diameter is 1/4 inch; in fact, they are the same thread as tripod fittings: 1/4-20. These bolts go through the corrugated and into the peg board and do a great job of holding the corrugated in place. I did put some tape over the flat heads of the elevator bolts because metal parts tend to leave marks on paper products. To hold the print in place over the peg board, I'm using some plastic peg board clips. I used a heat gun (well, to tell you the truth I couldn't find the heat gun ((must be packed already)) so I used a match) to melt these clips to bend them into better shapes. It's working perfectly so far. Oh, I do put craft paper down over the peg board to protect it from overspray buildup. You can see from this convoluted explanation why I should make that little video instead. ;^) Hope this helps...a bit.
