I get a kick out of some "diyers". While I understand the idea of saving a few bucks when you can, it's interesting the extent some people go to saving those few dollars. As a person that has sold industrial products my entire life I get a kick out of those that just know they can do things cheaper, better, faster..............until they try. They run around trying to find the right tool 'cause they know they can do it. But they spend more time and expense chasing after just the right thing than if they would have bought the original product in the first place. Personally, I just bought some vibra-pods that corresponded to the weight of the items I wanted to insulate, cut some manilla folder material to fit the same profile as the vibra-pod (using a standard pair of scissors) and I was done. I don't mean to chide anyone's efforts at saving a few bucks but there comes a time when it's just not worth it. Just buying the right product for the job may actually be the best answer.
