I think you can just use some razor blades and go to town. The duro only has nubs so you could just slice them off.

I know, but I'd like to spend a smaller amount of time than a whole day doing so.

I used a mega sharp chisel for my EC. 30 minutes, and a gash in my thumb is all it took.

perhaps your dads tool box or anyone else who does carpentry.

another option would be to buy one from a carpentry supply store.

personally I would just use a sharp knife. If you put oil on the blade it will slide through the rubber better.

Miles, I have a mostly slick duro sitting in the roof of my shed for a couple of years. It's not perfectly smoothe, but it's been worn down till there are virtually no nubs in the middle. If you're interested I'll find out ho much shipping would be.
