    Another option instead Monster Mud .. is trailer bed spray. They are used for protecting pick up truck trailer beds. So I sprayed it on the drop cloths. A bonus - they are totally fine for the inclement weather … it holds in place very quickly & easy to spray paint over. (I find mixing monster mud is time consuming & wasteful). Spray bed liner works great. (Just suggesting another option )

      The spray on bed liner foam holds in place & is very rigid. I find it immensely effective and easier to use then mixing up Monster mud. It’s comes in a spray can and of course is totally water proof (since it’s made to protect pick up truck bed liners ). So just spray it in the position that you want … it’s dries super fast & spray paint it after ! Done

    So everyone interested in doing this project, it's pretty fantastic to do. I'm currently in the middle of completing my version but I have a few things to say. If you don't have these scrap materials around it can get quite costly. All things purchased at home depot besides the tools I already had and scrap wood and bucket I had laying around I spent a little over $200 to do this. Just giving a heads because I didn't realize how much things were till I was in the middle of picking up all the materials and wanted to follow through with it. Regardless, when it's done it will be a rewarding project and you can resuse again for next season. Excited to finish this and move on to the next thing! Cheers!
