? on hot packs

[zoie2]

What exactly are these and where do you get them?

Heat packs are the "hand warmers " that when exposed to air they get warm. come in all different sizes and times. I use 40 hr ones myself can be bought in sporting goods stores

just got to your local grocery store, or cvs or other drug store. the ones for your back last 12 hrs, and cost less than the 2 pack for hands.

where is the best location in the box. some threads say inside the "cooler" and then other say on the outside. i shipped using the ReefForBrains method in shipping and handling thread. the heat pack was cold when it got there and the coral did not make it. it was also a next day delivery with and 18 hour heat pack. i know the heat packs can get to 126 degrees. feedback?

I personally tape a heat pack to the bottom of the cooler , cover it with newspaper after packing frags I put more newspaper then place the styro lid with another heat pack taped to the inside of the lid.That way the frags stay nice and cozy and usually make it without any problems. One needs to remember that temps are starting to dip below freezing at night ,and not much above durning the day, in most of the northern states Also the 12 Hr packs IMO arent good enough they "die" before the package is delivered. Go for 35-40 HR. packs. A little security goes a long way if your package gets stuck in limbo for an extra day.
