Default Corroplast wonder material

MAN! I love corroplast! It has so many uses. I put it down on my gargage floor so it will stay clean and not damage parts I put down to work on. I used it to make holders for my differential side gears so they wouldn't fall when I pulled out the tranny. I used it to drag the tranny out from underneath the car. I have used it to make wings and a whole RC airplane actually(yes it flew) It is corrugated plastic so it has many cells of air to absorb impacts it is pretty smooth so sliding stuff it is like those magic mover things. They make different thickness but I got mine from the last election, Some bonehead of a certain party(in office) dumped a bunch of them in the woods near my house. I can't wait until the next election since I am running short on the stuff and I want to build a RC airboat out of it(1/4 scale this time) Most of the signs you see on the sides of roads are made out of it! The election signs especially the big ones are made out of the thick stuff but the smaller signs are made out of the thinner lighter stuff(great for airplanes!)
make sure you grab some this time and I bet you will find many a use for it.

codes!!
