Has anyone used the 'polystyrene sheet hot knife' for cutting the sheets for packing?
I am doing a fair bunch of Ebay selling and scrounging packing materials is becoming
a challenge. Uline has 'plank foam' which I think is great stuff but is rather pricey. The
good old staticky white poly sheet is a little more affordable, 24 x 48 x 2 inches works
out to $2+ each sheet. I hate to work with that stuff tho. When I get a parcel packed
with that, I need to have the vacuum cleaner right there or it's like an experience of
staticky snow. Same with packing up parcels, if you cut the poly sheet or score it and
break. The hot cutting knife costs $290 each, ouch! My brother says use carpet
underlayment scrap for packing. Alternatives? The Uline foam-in-place seems to be
intended for smallish objects, not BC-654 or BC-312 size and weight anchors.
thanks-
