[R-390] Transit cases

[Dan Arney]

Foam in place system you are talking big bucks. The system I had in my 
shop for close to 20 years used two 55 gal drums for A & B chemical from 
Sealed Air Corp was over $5000.00 had a 1.2 PCF density with 4 inches It 
would  protect a R-39XXX for one or two drops with limited memory 
retention, it was a true PITA to work with for ones and twos nothing 
would cut the A chemical you had brown hands for a few days until it 
wore off. By far it was not cheap and not the best way to pack a "BA" 
Bead board Styrofoam is the cheapest and by far better than FIP
I spent 25 years in the custom packing shipping and crating business.

I used to furnish a custom Quad wall box with cut and fit bead board for 
$50.00 empty plus shipping for overweight 30# UPS 24x22x15 and sold a 
lot of them to list members and I personally had a box make 10 trips out 
and back with no damage. And I do not know of any of the custom boxes 
that I made ever had any damage claims.
