Knee hook pads.

Kayak rack pads

Tuilik hoods

Can cozies

: The pack rat scavenger in me came out today. Some of our IT folks responsible
: for equipment were tossing a stack of mouse pads (they seem to reproduce
: like rabbits, don't they).

: So, I'm thinking of uses for them. Here's some "possible" uses I
: came up with... are you folks using them for anything?

: 1. Cement pieces of it where my ankles come in contact with the boat.

: 2. Glue them to a stiffener for a back band (some types of pads are heavy,
: but others are fairly light.

: 3. Cement them to the cheek plates for some extra padding.

: 4. Stand on them when I'm working on the boat, or kneel on them. Sure beats a
: concrete floor!

: 5. I'm making a few pencil cups from short scraps of B&C cedar. Line the
: inside of one with a piece of the pad, and use it as a 12 oz. beverage can
: cooler (we call them "Huggies" around these parts).

: 6. Throw them away and don't admit to anyone that I ever scavenged them.
: Then, seek counseling.

: What else? Are any of you folks using them in your boat building process?
