Trouble handling lino

Phew!! Has anyone out there made their habitat with lino? I'm finding it really hard to handle. It wont sit neatly in the corners. Is there some technique with cutting it or something. The pictures on the lino cage site all look so neat. I'm having a really hard time getting the lino to fit properly into the cage as it is so hard to get it to sit it as a rectangle. Help!

Re: Trouble handling lino

he, he, he. I was remembering me getting gigundo sheets of linoleum to work. I was like the three stooges all wrapped up into one! :)

I kind of guessed on where to cut it, and then made one cut on each corner, and wrapped the overlapping ends. Let me know if you want a simple diagram on how to do the cut.

Re: cutting lino

Okay. Just for you. Here are 4 photos that show how to do it on a piece of paper. At least that is what I did:

special photo album

click on the photos to see more detail.

dotted lines are the floor dimension you want. Just cut in at the angle, overlap the corners and tape them down. You get a box with kind of rounded corners.
