Zombie Rods

My sad 1st attempts at this have been a learning experience. First, I learned that foam rubber sheets chemically react with U-40 & never set up, but remain forever tacky...after 2 days I chucked the tacky mess and started over. Second, there is a bit of figgerin' out to do to create the checker board. I had to measure & cut 4 circles, 2 black, 2 white, then epoxy them together. After they dry, I cut them in half. Here's where the figgerin' came in. Flip one half & glue the pieces back together. Then cut int 1/2 flip every other...glue. Keep it up and...voila! Easy as that(not!)
