[@tjsguideservice]

Agreed! These things have saved so much time!

[@TargetWalleye]

Super slick! Saw it in action last season and immediately knew I was gonna have to make one of these for the flip-over. Thanks for the step-by-step info. And congrats again on the incoming little one!

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet!! Well, I got an extra now for ya 😂

[@devondrewes]

You would think otter or clam would have a product like this out there. Great idea!

[@tjsguideservice]

Agreeed! Sounds like a good business opportunity for you?

[@devondrewes]

@ all you man!

[@brandonhousel266]

[@adhall777]

Excellent. Been looking forward to this video since seeing how well they worked in your previous video!

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s such a slick set up! So fast and efficient!

[@RAM-19]

Great tips on floor... guess i know what I'm doing today...lol Congrats on the upcoming baby... i was just blessed with grandchild #12 six months ago (this sons first)... get ready buddy... #1 will demand a lot of your time... make sure to enjoy baby time as much as possible because it goes by quick (i have seven children...youngest is 18 in 2 months)... dont know where the time went... Stay safe out there and all the best to you, baby and wife ... From my really cold, slightly lob-sided, overtaxed, undersized igloo on the mountain in alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D.

[@tjsguideservice]

Haha you bet! Thanks so much for the encouragement and advice! We can’t wait! Good luck this winter and hope the igloo holds up! 😉

[@craigwavra3495]

Really appreciate you putting this video together. The tape was my main question. Going to save this video for rewatching. Doing the same as you. I have those same mats.

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet! Honestly I probably would never use the floor if I couldn’t set it up this quickly!

[@craigwavra3495]

@ agree. It has to be simple. You made it look that way!!

[@o0l0s0o0n]

CONGRATS! its going to change your life for the better than you could possibly imagine!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thank you!! We are so excited!

[@mikezappa1877]

Might have to give this a try! Congrats on the baby on the way!

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s been so nice! So efficient for setting up! Thank you!

[@patrickethier6190]

Thanks. Good idea.. congratulations on the newborn coming!

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that, Patrick! Excited to meet baby E!

[@JosefAnderegg-bz3ug]

Congrats on baby coming! Making floor tonight thanks for video

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that, best of luck on the floor!

[@evanmalison4489]

Thanks TJ! I’m definitely going to tape my mats together this year! Getting those mats have been a game changer for overnights in my two man flip over! ❤️🎣

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet, Evan! This helps the process 10000%

[@Quinns_Outdoors_Live]

Now this is something I’m doing! So smart! Thanks

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s been such a time saver! Good luck!

[@Thilloutdoors]

Congrats! Thanks for video doing mine this week!

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that! Best of luck! 👊

grace ice water shield works good as well and I have less water and it really works as a former roofer it was a good idea at the time and now I do it with my new floormats also know as Bituthane for roofs

[@tjsguideservice]

I like that! Thanks for the tip!

[@Nick-hv5tt]

@@tjsguideservice just returning the favor your videos have so many good tips this is such a good channel and I thank you for that.

[@edbrown3047]

Thank you for this video!

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Eighty8Fitter]

I think you could buy Grace/Vycor window flashing for a bit cheaper and a longer roll?

[@tjsguideservice]

Possibly! I’ve never tried it! Worth a shot for sure

[@mattress2331]

Great break down

[@tjsguideservice]

Thank, Matt! 👊

[@danlovett3697]

One other tip/suggestion you could do with the circular cutouts . Make a "hinge " out of the tape and hinge each one . That way, you have little to no chance of losing or misplacing them and can still do all the things you showed in the video ...Just a thought..

[@tjsguideservice]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@andejo4436]

Great Info!

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that! Been an awesome floor!

[@AllenChristianson]

If you have a table saw you can cut those tabs off on each row all at once having a nice even clean cut

[@BondsIsKing]

I did this with 1/2” nice foam pieces and did not work great as the tiles are too heavy. I would suggest using the cheaper tiles. Mine latest 2 trips and failed

[@katiechung204]

Great video, do you drill through the mat holes to get everything lined up perfectly? Or is there another method to drill without getting the floor completely wet?

[@tjsguideservice]

I show how I set it up in this video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/morPl2pmprpkg8Usi=PZOiv0TEGnf-EsD_ Basically just drill part way through then take the mat off

[@katiechung204]

​@@tjsguideservice Thank you!!

[@nanas_tackle_box]

Do you auger right through the hole in the mat? Or do you Mark the holes on the ice then remove the mat? Just wondering wouldn't want to damage the mat or get it all in the auger

[@Tom-cr9nc]

I've seen people use a very durable cloth for the seams that are glued together with some Super 77 adhesive. Sounds a lot cheaper that the tape.

[@tjsguideservice]

I have heard of a lot of people doing that as well, but it doesn’t sound like it was quite as durable as the flex tape.

[@simcoe_seadoo3707]

Suggestion for cutting off the tabs - use an electric knife. Cuts like butter.

[@tjsguideservice]

I like it!

[@marshall8898]

You can just use a foam mat and role it up

[@danholtbk7008]

Is that what you use? Do you have trouble with it curling up and not wanting to lay flat?

[@AllanKunda-mp5xs]

@@danholtbk7008 tried it, when it is really cold it is hard to get the curl out!

[@AllanKunda-mp5xs]

Harbor freight has the cheapest price of the foam mats, set of 4 for $4.99.

[@tjsguideservice]

That’s a good deal! Thanks for sharing!

[@pikunioutdoors]

It's a good idea but I have a 8 person tent

[@tjsguideservice]

And you can add more to the outside edges!

[@codybishop7373]

I tried this spent 60 bucks on flex tape and it won't stick to the foam floor mats

[@tjsguideservice]

Did you apply heat and pressure to them and make sure the floor mats were clear of any dust or debris? I’ve made 2 now and never had an issue

[@codybishop7373]

@tjsguideservice i did the mats were also brand new. I have an insulated shop with a propane heater, but it's also -40 degrees in duluth, so maybe that's it I bought an extra roll of flex tape and I brought all the mat's inside for the night. I wonder if there's a chemical that opens the pours of the mat's up more to adhere better

[@codybishop7373]

@@tjsguideservice so I did it again with the mats inside the house for hours worked like a charm. Awesome product

[@kickassclone75]

Amazing you put tape on there…you have to be the worlds smartest guy or just another rando with no job and nothing else to do except post stupid phone videos

[@tjsguideservice]

Thank you for recognizing my ingenuity 🙏 means more than you know!
