A number of online suppliers sell the pyramid vinyl in both black and white depending on your taste.

Herco 2' x 4' All Purpose Pyramid Grip Vinyl Mat - White​

Is that close to what was there?
i didnt do good job in documenting what i had before media blasting.
 
And then these showed up!! Again not exactly correct, but i won't care as I'm putting around town.
I wasn't actually expecting to find a decent set of jumps, and was only half heartedly looking for any.

I only have scant knowledge on silicon bronze, have to do a deep google dive. But in the meantime… looks like you used your mig setup for this? If so, which wire, and did you use full argon for shielding or a mix? Finally, how much lower were your settings than with regular steel wire? Nice job!
 
That's a tig rig my friend.
Wire is ER CuSi-A, straight argon.
Amps were set at 100, but i had the foot pedal plugged in.
It's does great on thin stuff.
 
No wonder I don’t have knowledge of silver bronze brazing, cuz it’s tig process which I’m completely ignorant on 😂. The thin metal work is skookum.

On edit: my 30 min google deep dive indicates that you can mig wire braze silicon bronze with 100% argon, negative arc, push the puddle, …. Finding the settings for my Easy Mig 180 Lincoln welder will be the challenging part, or experiment time. Over 😉.

The stainless ones speedsail sells are good, the ones that come from India or wherever just throw your 500 in the trash can and save yourself the thought you bought something.

Besides the near constant reminders of the recent open enrollment for Medicare parts A&B, generous offers for home improvement loans and home solar packages, what good things come from India?
