How do you prevent the glass from sliding during your travels?

You can use a little "museum putty" on each corner and it will hold fast! Also called "quake putty"

Wow, You know I was just watching a show last night which is RIGHT up your alley!!!

The show I was watching was I WANT THAT... on the DIY Channel.


The thing that is IMPORTANT is they were advertising a NEW Product... CHECK this OUT!!

It is literally WALLPAPER!

I figure that if you give them the SIZE you want, (i.e. your Table)they can print you out a WALLPAPER of it and you can "Past" it to your table. THEN all you have to do is to paint a little Varnish on it and PRESTO there you go!


Just my 2 Cents!

Hope this gives you some thoughts...

You would need an awfully big table to have a map that you could use for route planning.

Great ideas! Thanks everyone.
I like the laminated sheet idea but keeping it in place would be harder, kind of like a oversized placemat.
I will have to check out the 2 part resin idea.

PS my lovely likes a clean kitchen too I wouldn't use a dirty map. lol and besides I do the dishes and clean up when we are on the road so I get to decide!!

My tabletop has (2) 3 1/2" cutouts for drink holders. The drink holders are removable but the holes remain. As near as I can tell, that would remove large portions of Georgia and Oregon. :)

Here's the "something like it".

A two part video on how to make a poured resin tabletop:

Part one.

Part two.

I would make an entirely new tabletop with 1/2" plywood and the mounting hardware from the existing top. That way, if I ever wanted to change it back, just swap tabletops.

Someone on the other side better be able to read upside down.

I use an Atlas and my gps. DW likes to keep a neat kitchen so I don't think she'd go for it. Good idea though.
