Barrier on painted stand

[Johnd651]

So I painted the stand and am getting ready to put the tank on it. It has the rubber mat attached to the bottom of the tank. The stand top has had 3-4 days to dry. Wondering if I should put a piece of paper or newspaper between the stand and tank mat to keep them from sticking together? Or am I really just over thinking it?

itll probably stick, but would think the mat would be easier to peel off than paper. looks really nice! i like the colors you picked!

I don't want to rip the mat if I need to move it. I'm OK with some paper getting destroyed. I think I'll throw it on enmity tonight and throw paper under it tomorrow.

It will still get a door on the front.

I would use wax paper. Won’t stick to the tank, or the paint.

This worked out perfect!!! The roll I had was even 15" wide. It was perfect.
