I find the white polystyrene packing material broken into pieces takes some
beating,you should be able to get this anywhere, anytime.

Basically, the scheme behind polystyrene "peanuts" is:

white = virgin polystyrene and OK
green = recycled and OK
pink = coated for antistatic purposes, avoid like the plague
light blue = coated to make the antistatic for handling only, apparently
OK

Avoid the figure-8's, avoid those that look like white/beige small dog
turds.

Good point, Sue. Fortunately, I learned early on to test 'em out. The
figure 8's are usually brutal.

Todd,

Aren't you in Vero Beach? If so, Odom's is not far from you. As far
as
the
peanuts, you can get 'em at Staples or other similar outlets.

I use them all the time. Be careful. The colored ones do not
play nice. The figure 8 shape tend to collapse and get nasty.

Some nice smooth S shaped ones I got once were the Corn
biodegradable ones that melt when wet. Boy was that a shock.
A friend had saved a whole big bag from "work" and they were all
corn starch.
