I think I have a problem...
I guess that is what happens when you don't throw away any minicell. Ever. Same problem with other elements of outfitting...

I have that problem, and live in one single 5' by 9' room in university halls of residence (with my three boats), it's becoming a real issue.

See now that is why Scott posted! He does have a problem! Too much order and nicely boxed materials.
He needs to learn to place those scraps in trash bags and stuff them in his garage along with that OC!
Not enough clutter! Don't worry Scott - I'm sure the kids can help you out there!

I roughly sorted them and consolidated (creating two empty boxes) and found some big pieces I'd missed (enough for a pedestal). Took some old ethafoam plus some coroplast campaign signes and made an archery target. So proud of myself til I found a bag I'd overlooked! Anyone ever make a boat from minicell scraps?!

Scott, I can give you a course in 'How to turn a neatly organized place into something resembling a war zone within 5 minutes!'
Trust me, I am the master when it comes to that !

1 - convince wife that you need a new boat
2 - finding someone or time to bring back - that hard to find gem of a boat
3 - locating another pair of those bomber thigh straps

Scott, my basement looks the same way! Last year I went through and attempted to "consolidate" all the good minicell pieces. I meant to throw out all the useless pieces. I think I put them all in a special box . . . and you know, I don't think that box ever got thrown out . . .
Some cycles are just unbreakable.
Anybody ever justified buying a new boat just so that they could use up some of their minicell? Um, me neither . . .

Re: is there a 12 step program?
All you really need to do is:
1) obtain one large cardboard box (three hundred cubic feet should do it minimally...);
2) place all of the minicell scraps in it;
3) label it "Pieces of Minicell too Small to Save"
4) and place it behind all of the more immediately-needed gear.

Yes!! There is a problem; You are sick. Solution:
Box up all the foam and send it to me. I promise that my present similar stock will not be jealous.
