TIRUPATI PACKAGING

the instructions aren’t very clear. but there is the actual foam. the cover slip thing. and then there is like a sheet that the foam was wrapped in when i first opened it. is this part of the packaging or do i need to keep it. I’m not sure because in the instructions it says, "it may take up to 72 for the topper to fully expand and recover to its original shape" i don’t think there are talking about the foam because the foam is already in its right shape expanded and all. so i assume they are talking about that thin sheet thing? if anyone remembers setting up there memory foam mattress and also had this please could you tell me what you did with it?

You keep the fabric cover to protect the foam. What is the other cover made of? I suspect you remove it and the foam will expand to fit the fabric cover. It has been a really long time, but I think I removed anything that wasn’t the fabric cover. You might want to keep the other cover somewhere to protect the mattress when you move the bed.

You know that stuff that’s used for packaging heavier electronics, like televisions.? It’s a type of lightweight foam that’s similar to styrofoam, but harder, and somewhat transparent instead of milky white? I need to buy some for a craft project, but I don’t know what it’s called. Can anyone help?

I’m not sure I’ve seen anything like that, or maybe a better description of size/shape would help.

Usually it is the "expanded polystyrene foam" that’s used in packaging for large/heavy electronics, and there is an "extruded" version which is denser, stronger and heavier (that can be purchased in thick sheets at home improvement or hardware stores).

But I don’t know of a *foam* that’s actually translucent or transparent …at least nothing’s coming to mind.

P.S. If you said exactly what kind of material you need and what it is you’re making (and its size/shape), someone may have a good idea of what you could use.

We are building with 6" cedar using foam gaskets and log seal. Trying to decide if it is worth the initial cost to do insulation package. What is R factor difference? Will it save heat/cooling costs? If so, will the savings be enough to cover the cost? Any opinions/facts would be appreciated. The log books go 50/50.

Yeah it will save. Cedar logs are wet. R factor is not that high.. Mine is Pine and Fir, less water logs 8-10" R factor is still low. Definitely could be better. Make special note about the windows and doors. Vinyl is better than wood and insulated steel door is better than wood.

a friend of mine is doing architecture he needs some foam boards to make building models. he asked me if I had any but I dont. now I’m wondering if shops would sell them. I always only see them in the packages of TV sets and things like that. never seen plastic foams sold alone in any kinds of shops?

Try hobby, model or floral supply shops.
They can usually order blocks in sizes other than what they stock.

It will be like a game but designed, dont know how to go about getting the prototype designed or created, or if I will need to copywrite it, will need someone to print it, need to create packaging and a few foam dice, what companies will do this or where can I get a list from.

I’m In the middle of making mine just now thanks

My partner cuts up polystyrene (plastic foam) as a way of recycling materials for packaging. It’s very efficient but the build up of static electricity slows the job down and drives her crazy.

She uses a wooden board and a steel knife with a bone handle, cuts the polystyrene into cubes about the size of a dice, and then puts them into a carboard box before going onto the next piece.

The static electricity build up causes the little cubes to cling to everything and sometimes to ‘refuse’ to go into the box!

As you can imagine, it slows the whole process down.

Any ideas about how to reduce the build up of static electricity?

Thanks!

You can get an earth bracelet from most electronic supplies companies.
This is designed to prevent static in your body damaging electronic devices you are handling by earthing it .
this may solve your problem.
Best try an earth wire around your wrist first just to see.

it was in a package that was sent to me, so i have no way of finding out where it came from in order to track it down.

I have handled biodegradable packing foam made up of dried dough such rice flour, or other starches. It is supposed to be more environmentally friendly then plastic foams

-Plastic foam
-Packaging peanuts
-Bubble wrap

For ebay

If its only one or 2 use one of those envelopes with the bubble wrap already in it. Whatever you do dont use peanuts they just make a mess and no one wants to dig to the bottom just for a dvd
