	Good point.  I saw this but didn't really take notice.  Where this will 
come in handy is in helping protect the integrity of the linings such as 
ITC-100, Satanite, Plistix (BTW, I still have that tub of Plistix you 
sent me over a year ago.  Never got to use it due to circumstances, but 
have plans for it one day soon after June 17).  These coatings are not 
that tough to begin with.  Having work in and out, causing the loose 
floor to flex the blanket probably won't do the coating any favors.  In 
addition, it may serve to liberate fiber from the blanket.  I would not 
want to be breathing too much of that stuff.  Frim what I've read, 
silicosis is not a pleasant way to go.

	You have SO much more to be sorry about.
