<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 322723, member: 54"]Photos. Only used a little bubble wrap around bell’s clapper, changed my mind about using lots of bubble wrap and looked for some more durable dunnage. The stiff foam rubber from a damaged office chair worked nicely. Plywood used to back-up concentrated load of bell’s crown, otherwise “Triwall” cardboard (1/2” thick) from a Gaylord box was used for inside box liner. Grey cloth is repurposed U-Haul moving blanket. Black blocks are stiff foam rubber that was glued inside the military container when I got it. I wasn’t sure that the 14 latches already on the box were enough, but went with them anyway. We’ll wrap clear packing tape around all latches a few times, then apply a 3/4” tensioned steel strap perpendicular to that in the middle of the aluminum box. None of the hundreds of “heavy duty” packages I’ve made have failed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107522[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]107523[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]107524[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
