DIY pin point protectors (AKA Pinmoors)
One day I was in my DH's workshop and saw a bag with a roll of caulking backer rod in it. This is a 1/2" X20 ft. roll of a spongy plastic like material that is used to fill large gaps before you caulk so you don't have to use so much caulk. Since we had had it for a long time, he said I could have it. I chopped it up into
1/2" to 3/4" pieces. Out of a 20 ft. roll I figure I got about 320 to 480 pieces. Not nearly as pretty as Pinmoors, but at $3.48 for a 20 ft. roll of backer rod vs. 50 Pinmoors for $19.48, well, I figure "pretty is as pretty does." I checked Home Depot's web site, and $3.48 is what they charge for a 20 ft. roll. Here are some pictures so you know what I mean:
