Spot Countdown Continues ... and Never Ends

On January 5, we got back to work after a holiday break. In November, we realized we had a lot of surface area (approximately 24 square feet), which meant a lot of time was needed. We traced Sally's spots onto tracing paper, and we took home glass and traced spots. We created spots at home, and taped up each spot with contact tape.

We then brought the spots back to Aimee's, and we began adhering them to Sally. The best method to adhere spots was to place our adhesive, DAP silicone caulk, onto Sally and then place the spots, contact tape still attached, into the adhesive. After about 24 hours and the silicone caulk was dry, we removed the tape. If we were lucky, all the pieces of glass stayed on Sally and did not come away with the tape.

We skipped the space between spots and decided to fill that in after we finished all the spots. We lived, ate, and breathed spots.

Lessons Learned
1. Each spot is like its own little puzzle ... sometimes a very complicated little puzzle.

2. If we run out of contact tape, packaging tape and book tape do NOT work as substitutes! Packaging tape leaves behind a sticky residue, and it does not bend as well on Sally's curves. Book tape does not hold pieces well. We learned this the hard way as several spots completed fell apart before making it to Sally, rendering the time spent on them useless and wasted.

Spot Count
So many done, so many to go.
