I have found several uses for the vinyl slats from window blinds. They can be used to draw lines on your model, for covering purposes, since they flex nicely when pulled over contours. They work even better as glue spreaders. When applying Pro Bond to wing skins, we cut 3"-4" lengths of blind material, CA'd a short piece of dowl to the back side, as a handle, and were able to keep our fingers glue free. The round, plow like shape helped to keep the glue rolling back in front of the spreader edge. We were able to work very quickly. I've used them for other things, but these two are my favorites. A $5.00 set of blinds will last for years, of course, I just use the extra slats when trimming my blinds to the proper window length.
