Looking for rigid spray foam---harder than "Great Stuff" for instance, for shipping
I have to ship some 25 pound cast iron castings roughly 3x6x36". I would like to find a hard foam that would fill up the space and provide a foam-filled 1" space all around the casting in a heavy duty cardboard box. The foam need's to be rigid enough to not collapse in normal UPS handling providing impact resistance and would hopefully more or less allow the box to benefit from the strength of the casting. Foams like Great Stuff are just not hard enough. They are fine for their intended use as insulating gap fillers, but I need something more like the pink insulating foam sheeting but in a spray or bagged moldable form. Ideas? It would be nice if the cost could be ten dollars or less per box. I expect to ship 5 to 10 boxes not 50 or 100.
