OH NO!

Rachael and the rest of her Winter Guard group unfolded their floor to use it for the first time and found this


the paint had peeled off of the floor.  DISASTER!!!!!!  So after a little bit of debate about what needed to be done to fix the floor.  This is what we did.
down on our hands and knees peeling all of the WHITE paint off of the floor.  Next the white area of the floor got a light sanding and the painting began again.


We painted late on a Saturday night, we came in on Sunday evening and put a light coat of baby powder on the floor, hopefully that will help it to not stick when it is folded.  The Guard had practice on Monday morning, so they folded it after practice. 

HAPPY DAY - When the guard unfolded the floor the following Wednesday, the floor was GREAT!  No peeling paint! 

It was a lot of work, but worth it all in the end, to have the floor be painted and ready for the guard to use at their first show!
