Question
I need to ship some ceramic molds to my sister in another state. (I picked them up cheaply and she is just getting into ceramics)
I have already put a thin bubblefoam sheet between the halves, placed them together over the sheet and wrapped them together with a stretch wrap.  I was going to then wrap in bubble wrap and pack with peanuts.  Does this sound adequate?

Answer
Judi,
Whew! molds are heavy. I hope you don't have alot to ship. If you do, I have shipped by train successfully and cheaply in the past. Your packing sounds adequate. I have also, in the past wrapped molds and ceramics in old, clean carpet padding & taped. It's inexpensive, easy to obtain freely from a carpet layer. Hope this is helpfu.
