I have some I can share as well, but they can all be found on line. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

boxes out of. I find I can get a tidier box out of that material. For bigger/ heavier objects I use Coroplast. It is a good material and it also water resistant, a big plus if water damage is ever a possibility. I get coroplast from Opus, our local art supply
store. <o:p></o:p></span></span></li></ul>

you can use a heat sealer on it and make form fitting dust covers for larger objects. I would use poly sheeting if there was a risk of splashing as it will offer more protection and you can see through it.

if they don’t have it in stock but maybe willing to bring it in for you. I found their prices tend to be a bit better than Carr Mclean and if you can pick it up you don’t have to pay for shipping.
