In Response To: Material: Uses for Mouse Pads (Rick Sylvia)

The best use I found for an old mouse pad was motorcycle related. I needed rubber spacers b/t the trunk and trunk rack of my Triumph Trophy. Dealer wanted $12 each and I needed 6. Upon returning home my wife walked through the garage and said, "you need these for anything?" and laid three mouse pads on the trunk rack. The light bulb came on.

Other uses:
*Pad b/t binder straps and whatever is being hauled.
*Paddle pad for strapping GPs to the rack
*Padded the end of a small sledge hammer for no marks adjustments
*Stack them up and use as pillow when your wife gets fed up with all the time spent in the garage and tells you to sleep out there. ;)
