Shipping mirrors

[Spacebrain]

Hi

I need to ship primary 12" and secondary mirror for recoating.

Getting an idea of how it should be done from various sites, e.g. http://www.telescopelab.com/index.php?page=packing

Where can I get such foam sheets in Sydney?

If anyone has done this before could you share some advice?

Thanks for any help.

Try Clark Rubber for the foam.

I've shipped mirrors to the USA a number of times, and also suggest you
double box the mirror using foam beads to support the inner box
