Ear plugs. What? I cant hear you!

Post by flyboy71 »

I was getting ready to sandblast today and needed to plug an open brake line so I grabbed an ear plug, rolled it, stuck it in the open end and problem solved. Now if that would only work on my wifes cars squealy brakes :lol:

Of course you can also use them to plug holes you dont want filled with paint....

Or keep threads clean if you wanna paint your nuts. :D

That IS a great tip. How come I never thought of that before? lol Used to work in the power plants and could have gotten all of those I could ever need if I had just thought if it.
