OK, No matter how careful I am, the headbanger eventually gets me from the rear of the bus.... and with being in the upper age area with no hair for protection, I experience a new type of pain. I need to cushion this corner!
What have people done to cushion up the corner? I have bought copper pipe insulation, and was thinking of somehow adhering that. I am not trying to or at the least minimize attach points involving glue, staples, adhesive.
Just wondering what others have done so I can make some choices.
Thanks! |

Thanks Busdaddy, that is exactly what I was hoping would be in existence - that always does not happen....
Greatly appreciate it, as well as the link.!

Yea, thought about a hat, but not always wearing one... maybe I should start.
Not sleeping, the corner of the headbanger gets me when I am putting something in the back of the camper.. |

I was going to say take it out and throw it as far as you can,
Or maybe smash it into a bunch of little pieces,
or burn it.
But,
Since these are becoming collectible and all these days,
maybe just store it in your garage or attic or something..

Wont be storing it, as I will be using it!
