    I’m getting ready to move my pin for the first time for a trade. I have a stranger things machine bought brand new and I want to keep it scuff free for the move. So, do you all think if I stretch wrap the backbox while it’s folded down that it’ll be enough to keep it down? I plan on using lots of wrap for this part. Or should I use wrap and then a ratchet strap ?

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Yes, but make sure to put some padding between the backbox and the cabinet. A folded sheet of cardboard, pool noodle, or moving blanket would work.
    I normally go around about 4 times with the stretch wrap to ensure that the backbox stays in place. A strap isn't necessary, and in fact would potentially cause some minor damage..

    How thick should the cardboard be?
