[Boatanchors] Boatanchors - packing

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 09:30:58 -0700

I looked into it a bit.

I now pay about $7.00 for packing material for a 60 lb tape deck. The costs for 
this foam packet is $12.00 for a 60 lb deck and it is not too clear just how 
much labor is involved in preheating, mashing the catalyst pouch and mashing the 
deck into the lower foam.
