See psychedelic patterns the safe way! Press your hand on this 6" x 6" sheet of liquid crystal and leave a print of swirling colors that, like the mood ring of yore, you can use as a sign of your mood. The pattern will blend and fade in seconds as the crystals react to temperature. Tiny liquid crystals inside the film-like material react to heat, 25-30°C (77-86°F) by changing colors. As science, it demonstrates the way liquid crystal displays work. And you can cut it into pieces to incorporate into a science project. Or just leave it out for guests to play with when the party turns boring.

This multi-use, all-purpose, tear-resistant, all-weather generally handy blue tarp is for covering up stuff. Measures 7 x 5 feet in .0085 thick plastic (polyethylene) with rust-proof aluminum grommets and a 1/16” poly rope inside the hem to give it extra stability. Also makes a nice lean-to or an ugly raincoat.

Leather scraps, very assorted. Each 2-lb sack will net you some small pieces and a few larger pieces, from 4" x 12" down to 6" x 2", more or less and give or take, in odd shapes. (If your lucky maybe even one long piece) Think coin purses and bracelets, not belts. Maybe a jacket for a hipster rabbit. Colors are all over the place, from light and dark browns to reds, whites, maroons and more. You get approx (2) pounds total. Have fun and send us pictures of what you made. Call for larger bulkier pricing. 

Hexagonal silicone. Whatever you like to call them. You definitely need a bunch of these translucent white, six-sided silicone discs. We've seen three sizes, but there could be more (that's surplus for ya.): 2-7/32", 2-9/16" and 3-11/16” across and all 1/16” thick. Probably from a gasket factory, but they’d make dandy vibration pads, non-slip feet, Hobbit hot pads, shot-glass coasters, earrings or very odd bouncy floor tiles. We'll pick a handful of assorted sizes for you.

These are all 21” square cotton/poly blend factory-second bandanas. A few are unhemmed on one side, but generally we can’t see why they were seconded. Most are traditional paisley designs in assorted colors, but others are novelty versions in USA and Texas flag looks, camo, smiley faces, dog paw prints and others. It’ll be a nice change not to know exactly what you’re getting, won’t it? Buy ’em at the bulk price and resell them. Start your side hustle now!

Make your own sparkling magnets with our flexible, cut-able 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of 1/32" thick magnetic rubber. The silver glitter finish under a diffraction layer creates mesmerizing rainbow effects. You'll get (3) sheets of magic glitteration to play with.

Pure surplus: 11” x 4” x 1/4” thick oblongs (which is to say, rectangles with rounded ends) of dense, black nitrile rubber. It’s like padding, matte on one surface and glossy on the other. Great for dampening vibration, or wherever you need cushioning. Ready to use as is, and ready to cut to shape.

Thin-sheet-metal workers, that is. As in crafter/jeweler/model-maker types. You get a 3-pack of very nice, bendable, metal foil sheets, 5" x 7" x .005" thick, (1) each in copper, brass and aluminum.

And people won't crash into you, because nothing says safety like this high-quality reflective tape, the same material that's used to make stop signs. You get (4) glossy, self-adhesive red reflective tapes, 12" long x 3/4" wide. We're thinking bike fenders and helmets, dog collars, garage door frames, anything that could benefit from a heightened visibility.

These here are made for repairing tents after critters tried to get inside or somebody bent over too fast with a machete in his belt. Iron these off-white canvas strips, shiny side down, over the hole and yer tent's like new, almost. Pants too, if ya got off-white canvas britches. Make good iron-on name tags, no matter how short or long your name is. Small are 2" x 2" and the medium are 4" x 2",. Sold in large quantities, in case you have particularly aggressive critters, or an extra-long machete.
