Have you ever wanted to try upholstering something? If you're the sort of person who likes to put puzzles together, upholstering is not really difficult and the results are so worth it. You could start out with a small project, like a foot stool from a thrift store, just to see if you like it.

If that doesn't appeal, how about any project that calls for the ultra-stiff sort of interfacing?

I wonder how it would work for a wall hanging that you wanted to stay flat?

If you're into dressy clothing, you could probably use more padded clothes hangers. Or you could make gifts of padded clothes hangers.

For that matter, if you are into making your own clothes, upholstery batting is the perfect thing to use to pad out a standard dressmaker's dummy to duplicate your own figure exactly. Seamstresses often try to do the padding with soft batting, which is just an exercise in frustration because it's the firmness of upholstery batting that they need (right tool for the right job and all that).

Yes it is for upholstery. It can also be used for stuffing trapunto My dad was an upholsterer and I too inherited some. Makes nice cushion sitters for lawn furniture.

Maybe you can carefully "peel" a layer off ?

That's a thought. I didn't post the original question, but I've got some very thick batting too - may go and see if that would work. If it did I'd have twice as much and it would be usable. Win win!
