Geodesic Dome Media Pod

Step 7 Velcro Placement

If you want to skip this step - Go ahead as this step was added to make this Media-Dome portable to take apart and move to other locations, you can actually Hot Glue the seams up solid if you want. If you want to go portable - Read on.

Go and buy about 100ft of both "Hook" and "Loop" Velcro found at most yardage or upholstery supply stores, this should be black in color and 1" wide, this will cost you some money, but like I said when you want to move the Media-Pod, the mobile aspects of this can be very valuable.

Start by using the finished painted Hexagons and Pentagons as well as the Half Pentagon pieces you have created, the un-painted inside portions are where you will RTV Glue in the Velcro along the outer edges. Black RTV Silicone Rubber caulk can be purchased at Lowes & Home Depot in a typical Caulk tube.

Select the "HOOK" side of the velcro, this is the opposite portion of the Fuzzy hair looking "Loop" portion of the velcro, we will now cut pieces with angles matching the inside edges of the Dome pieces we are working with, (See Pictures).

I won't go into a lot of details about this step because we all had plenty of training in cutting and pasting in Kindergarten and can perform this task with minimal trouble. just follow the pictures I have shown and you will get it on the first try.

instead of hot glue i would try some silicone calking, it would give it a more workable finish and probably seal it better too.
