As another poster relates, using them in pairs is about the easiest way to
separate certain kinds of stacked plate combos. One on top, one on bottom.
I rarely have a need for more than 2 at any given time, but on my current
project, I have 4 ready to hand because one of the things I am doing is
laying large plates onto baseplates, or onto superbricks (10x20, 12x24 etc).
When I place a 6x16 and find I didn't put it in the right spot, 4 separators
along the 16 edge are barely enough to lift it back up again. Sometimes the
top studs on the plate actually get marred a bit by doing it, too.
That's a testimonial to the adhesive power of the stud, especially in large
quantities. Oh, and a pointer that it's better to measure twice cut once...
if I had thought more carefully before tamping the plate down I wouldn't be
trying to wrench it back up again. :-)
