    Yes you can use a mat with a stage.  If you search on the forum there has been a lot of discussion regarding the best mats.

    Search for them on Craigslist.  I got a garage full for pretty cheap.  I will warn that when you get warm it is really easy to jam your toes on the mats.  I speak from experience!!

    CapFeb….the dome is NOT supposed to be in teh floor as is shown in the pic Sensual posted.

     

    That does not look safe or good for the dome.  I remember you could do this with the PS poles but you still had the dome on top.  When mounted this way where the most outward force would be only has a small piece up against the ceiling…. NOT safe.

    The only thing that would work for my powder coated LM was a fan during the summer or using it early morning/late evening when it was not as hot and humid. 

     

    I assume you are talking your body sticking, yes?  For hands it is a matter of playing with your grip.

    Your hairdresser has no idea what she is talking about.  If this is the first time your hair has been lightened and has not been chemically treated in any other way then there is no way this is damaging enough.  Your best bet would probably be to have a mix of high lights and low lights put into your hair.  Or speak to another hairdresser that specializes in coloring.

    I have found that many instructors who go at this pace do so because they do not know how to properly train people in pole.  Also to teach carousel in a second class….I won't even go there.  Sounds like this person is trying to ride the bandwagon.  Know what you can and cannot do and know the dangers of the moves she is teaching.

    Arnica!!  I buy stuff from Swanson Vitamins that has 10% arnica in it (and it is cheaper than buying in the store).  I crashed and burned pretty bad 2 weeks ago doing parkour, got home and started with the arnica and never bruised.  By crash and burn I mean that we were hurdling balance beams and I did not get my legs up high enough and hit both shins on the edge of the beam and came down face first.  I took off enough skin and my shins were tender to even wearing jeans, but I never bruised!

     

    This is what I get: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/NWF460/ItemDetail

     

    I know that Aerial Amy loves Traumeel but it is about twice the cost.  You can also take arnica pills that will help, too.

    There are a couple of things. 

     

    Heat Set rhinestones have a heat set glue on the back of them.  They require a special heat gun and take a bit longer to bedazzle but is less messy than glue.

     

    My favorite glue is called Quick Grip.

    I found it when making repairs to an old pop up we had.  This stuff LASTS and does what it says but it it can be very messy.  I used this stuff when I made my disco ball bra and pretty much every costume I have made for Halloween for the last few years.

    My frst pole was a powder coated and I cannot tell you how much skin I ripped off my legs from it.  It was great for static holds but just like with brass spins are more difficult (at least for me).

    Brass XPole is NOT plated.

     

    I am not sure how well brass plating will adhere to the steel that is under the chrome.  I am shocked that they would strip the chrome and plate for you for under $100.  I would not even consider plating over the chrome.
