"That is one sexy hoop.
hmm, maybe I should be worried that the hoop is what draws my attention."
"ugh, the mess isn't the worst part about spray adhesive; its the smell and deadly stuff you accidentally breathe in. Im an art teacher for elementary kids, so I always take a paranoid view of aerosol glues."
"Im curious: when you all sand it, what grit size do you use? Is it a super coarse 60 or something much finer like 220?"
"I like using the double-sided tape and then using ribbon on top. Most of my hoops are about 39 inches and it will take me approximately 20-22 feet of ribbon to wrap it in the tape style. The double sided tape I use is 1.5 inches wide Duck tape. Its…"

So, my computer broke last August and I've only popped in on the chatrooms during borrowed times. I've not stopped my arts: poi, meteor, staff, hooping, and anything else that I can fiddle about with.
Geez, what has happened since then...where do I start? This year of 2009 has been one of the strangest/hardest I've faced:

I was deflated by his unexpected response. :-) Then I wondered if you were the guy who bought the tubing...
