        Highlights:

        Step 1: Pour Rubber Coating into a Container

        There should be enough coating in the container to cover half a brick when it's placed inside. A container made out of scrap wood works well; just make sure it's held together tightly so that the rubber coating doesn't seep out.

        Tip: Knock off loose grit and round-off corners by rubbing bricks together.

        Step 2: Dip the Brick and Repeat

        Dip the brick into the container. Remove the brick, then place it on a Teflon-coated pan to dry.

        After the brick dries, dip the other side of the brick into the container.

        Allow the brick to dry.
