Honda Clarity Vlog 01: DIY Cork Center Console Mat – No more sliding cell phone!

I bought my 2018 Honda Clarity and love the car. I will start making more videos about the modifications and changes to my Honda Clarity as I take her on roadtrips, to work, and for fun!  I will post both good and bad aspects about the Honda Clarity as I grow with my new travel companion!

For this video, this is a fix for the center console. One of the dislikes was the center console bin. It was missing a mat.  They sell an official Honda rubber mat for about $20-$30 ( https://amzn.to/2DVlKs0 ).

Having a mat solves some issues with the center console:
1. Keeps my cell phone from sliding around.
2.  Eliminate the cheap plastic hollow sound.
3.  Cork is natural and gives it a good contrast.
4. Add visibility  so I don’t forget my cell phone when I leave the car.

However, prefer to DIY it and got craft cork board sheet from a local craft shop All you need is a 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. You can get cork sheets online ( https://amzn.to/2GbQQ16 ) and have enough for other projects.  I got cork board without adhesive.  I used a  8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper to make a trace.

After making the trace, I placed the paper on the cork sheet and made the cut out.  I added transparent Plastic Dip spray ( https://amzn.to/2MNGjJI ) to seal and rubberize the cork. You can also use hair spray or art fixative.  Otherwise the cork will will be brittle and break apart.  After spraying Plastic Dip, I let it air out for a few days to remove odor.

This is how i do it for entertainment, do so at your own risk or bring it to  repair or professional. Thanks for watching.
