    Put one in your Featherweight case to "try" to eliminate or cover up that horrid musty smell they all seem to have.

    I send each bouce sheet ( or which ever brand I bought this month) thru twice... there is still plenty of "bounce/scent/de-cling left for a second load of laundry.

    Lots of ppl use the sheets for foundation pieceing.. but warn it is highly flammable. So use caution, there.

    I have planted a corner of a sheet in my garden to help keep critters/pests away.. ( just plant it enough so it does not blow away.. behind a tall plant and noone can see it sticking out) sees to work well for this... after a long season, I caught a momma robin hauling it off for her nesting.. LOL.... guess it was time to plant another sheet!

    Let us know if it works on the gopher, I have them in my yard as well as do my neighbors and would love it if we found something so easy to deter them.

    I use the Bounce Free stuff...no fragrance...because of allergies. Do you think it would work too? Especially on mosquitoes. I wonder if its the scent or something else that repels the bugs.
