    Default Rubber Rope

    Amongst my FILs stash I found about 3m of 1" diameter solid black rubber "rope". He probably had it for half a century but it is surprisingly supple. Just wondering what it could possibly be used for. Have to decide whether to ditching it or not.

    Make a new seal for your dust collector?

    I would imagine something like a hatchway cover on a boat?

    Yeah - somewhat old school perhaps but it fits with the era. Could have even been military/naval in origin.
