Barb, I bet LVP would work great, but I don’t know how easy it would to glue an edge treatment to it. I’m sure there’s a way. I just have no experience working with it. Grippy would be better. With my board, I sometimes see that my mat has shifted without my noticing. A grippier surface would eliminate that,

Steve, it’s good to hear a second opinion. During the glue up, I was still in a panel-assembly mindset (glue the edges to eliminate surface gaps).

Thanks, Bentlyj. I greatly appreciate your comments, particularly given the superior quality of your work.
