Default new covering

I was think today as to what you could recycle a dryer bounce fabric for. I layed a piece on regular styrofoam and coated it with PU.
I was amazed as to the strength It achieved. It took considerable force to break the foam

I use it all the time with CA or epoxy to fix plastic or fiberglass parts

Just tell the wife to save a few after they have been used

Also  good for cleaning the bottom of warm film irons.. smells nice too    Wet ones are fantastsic at removing love bugs from your bumper if you have those.

They work great at the flying field to. I hang one out the back of my cap and wipe my face with one and the Bug's keep away from my face. Sounds odd but it work's. No more slapping bugs out my eye with one hand while trying to fly with the other.

Is this a used dryer sheet or a new one ? I think this is really cool,

I hate it when the gnats-flys-bugs are buzzing your face and you're trying to concentrate on flying your model. Thanks for the great advice !!!!
