Enjoy !

PS: If someone knows other usages, let me know!

Also, you can cut them in half (would require two separators, as some excess plastic gets taken away in the saw blade) to get to plates stuck in corners. I haven’t done this but I imagine a guide built out of bricks and a hobby saw would do the trick, with some cleanup with fine grit sandpaper to make the cut edge nice and smooth. :-)

I heard this from another AFOL who I believe has done this, but I can’t remember who it was...

I made one out of "old" LEGO parts that I no longer like and
glued up a brick separator for this kind of job.

Why cut up and ruin a perfectly good brick separator when you
can your recycle old LEGO with tooth marks and scratches :-)
