I've had a few thigns shipped in that expanding foam and IMHO it's
excllent. Devices with quite deliacte parts 9glass display tubes [1],
etc) have arrived with no problems after bieng shipped across the Pond.

lot more fragile that CRTs or valves. I ahve no idea whay they are such
thin glass.
How well do you find the Instapak stuff works?
Do you mean the expanding foam that fills all voids around the item?
This stuff seems to work well for larger items on the few occasions
that a seller could provide it. My main beef with it is that the typical
"I'll pack your stuff in a
box for you" store doesn't have it.
There;s local shop here that claims to send anything (legal) anywhere and
from the pictures in the window it appears they do
provide this exanding
foam. Iv'e not tried them, however (I receive a lot more
than I send).
