Using your noodle

[anomdeplume]

Pool noodles that is. Any clever uses for pool noodles that are related to your Bronco? I built a wooden shelf to cover most of the rear cargo area. First time I reached in to load up…scraped the knuckles. Added a pool noodle as an edge guard.

With an internet full of pool noodle hacks someone oughta sell pool noodles in muted colors so an otherwise great idea isn't ruined by someone else's need for color in thier lives. I see pool noodle hack, and I start trying to figure out if pipe insulation would work as well.

The pipe insulation is already split, and some comes with an adhesive so it will stick.

+1. Back in the day, I use to wrap 4x4 rollbars using that sort of pipe insulation.

I’ve been known to use a router roundover bit and sand paper to smooth out the edge of wood.

Or go a little (ALOT) overboard and sand smooth and epoxy the hell out of it.

Could probably use Plastidip or Flex Seal on the edge to protect yourself too.

I’m probably going to go this route on the final version. The one I built already was more of a template from scrap plywood. I glued one of my wife’s old yoga mats to the top for “grip” on anything I place there. Glued old yoga mat on the bottom to not scratch the Bronco interior plastic that the plywood lays on. The pool noodle was a temporary fix until I have time to build a final version.
