Valice,

>> sometime back a couple of Clayarter's (Karen & Russel?) said that they'd
used spray foam for packaging. Well I just tried it & it didn't work. The
foam that I used evidently requires air to cure & I can't figure out how to
get the foam to create a "nest" for the piece & still cure! <<

T'wern't me. T'was Carla.

My experience with the foam packing material is that it is a urethane foam and the
unrethane foams require water to set properly. You may run a test to see how your
foam reacts. With a water spray bottle, spritz the inside of a plastic bag....very
thin plastic...almost film like.....then put your foam mix int the bag, close it
up, and watch what happens. Should go all the way to cure.

Good Luck
