The move went very well and, thanks to you, the trip was a lot quieter than it could have been.
I got hold of some plastic bags, similar to the ones supplied in supermarkets but a bit thicker. I placed these over the contents of the tool box drawers, covered them with a sheet of MDF and blew the foam into them. It wasn't that neat as it only meant to last for the trip which it did.
Biggest problem I had was getting rid of the bags/foam - there's no garbage collection at all where I'm currently staying. :scratch:
John Hill:
Glad the move went well for you Geoff.
Thanks Eric, I hope it goes well for everyone who tries it!
FredEx:
Great idea. :clap:
I had a weaved material that the foam could bleed through. I put the material down over the tools, used a light spray of contact glue, stuck tissue paper to that and then did the foam. That tissue paper layer was enough so there was no leaking through the weaved material. Without that spray glue I was afraid the material would pull away.

Next time just dampen the material a little and test that, you will probably find the water in the fabric reacts with the foam and immediatley blocks the weave, by the way, if you push and pump really hard you can force the foam through the t-shirt fabric too.
