Hawg Trough Saver

Not sure if this had been shared before but I thought I would to prevent some lost in the future. I picked up some leftover styro foam pads from work and cut
it into a strip size that would fit on the backside of the trough. Then I glued it together with some goop. You want to sand the trough first though so the glue
will stick. I tried it out and it worked. I hope you all like it.

Cool!  Thanks.  I string mine up with a Brass Swivel Eye Bolt Snap.

thanks Jeb.

Nicely done!  Any left over? 

I found some long flat rectangular pool noodles (for lack of a better description) and cut thin long strips and glued them into the channels on the back of the trough. Took a razor and trimmed them even with the bottom.
Floats just fine.
Same idea, just put them in a different spot.

Nice work Jedmo.

3/8" Poly Foam Caulk Saver rope cord (moisture repellant) from Home Depot works as well for the side channels and you don't have to glue. Just cut to length and push it in. This work for floatation as long as you don't have any extra weight like a ruler mounted to the top..just a plain hawg trough.

I like it! Plus it will pad my legs for when I'm measuring those brutes...
