I have always tried to be inventative. I think one of my idea failures might just be a workable altenative here. I tried to make knee boards once for concrete out of basically nylon cutting boards. I was sick and tired of constantly having to replace them because they would go unwashed and would then rip my pour's surface. The ones I made worked too good. They didn't stick at all!! Nearly broke my back side stepping out on them. Couldn't get any traction no matter what I did to the nylon. As I remember, I think I only had about $20 in the two boards. You probably could attach some to the bottom of the compacter and just leave them for the sub-grade as well. Just a thought, might not work. Tim
