Good idea about painting, except there are problems with that...Right now my
subflooring still has the original lino tiles glued down--so I'd have to
remove them and sand off the remaining glue off the subfloor (and hope there are no
wood tears). As I mentioned, I plan to tack the canvas down at the edges,
which should (I hope) control shift and slip. The other thing I like about the
floor cloth is that it's relatively disposable--when it wears out (or when we
can afford a new lino floor) we can simply lift it out.
