            | Sam H | East Sussex, UK | Are you not worried about the screws damaging the pumpkin? | 7/3/2025 10:56:28 AM | 
		
            | North Shore Boyz | Mill Bay, British Columbia | I'm assuming he will put down mill fabric and/or sand. Hey Dave I thought you used to use those yoga mat pieces that fit together like a puzzle piece? | 7/3/2025 5:02:20 PM | 
		
            | Richmond  Dave | Richmond, BC, Canada | I've used this system for 3 years and a handful of sand on the plates is all I use to protect the pumpkin. I usually have a very thin layer of sand over the whole board but this year I'm trying nothing. The PVC plastic is super smooth. | 7/4/2025 9:17:14 AM | 
		
            | Vineman | Eugene,OR | Put a piece of duct tape or some painter's tape over the joiner plate & screws to protect the pumpkin from the parts that stick up. | 7/6/2025 9:26:07 AM |
