It's interesting about how these cylinders re-act. 10 years ago I bought 20 of the black wax cylinders at the show in Buena Park and wrapped them carefully and put them in the car at show end. We spent the night in the area and then headed back to Arizona. We always stop at a deli in Palm Springs and I took them in with us. We had lunch and then drove home. Car was always air conditioned. Two days after we got home I checked them and 9 were broken.

2 years later we were at the show, and my wife, before we left, showed up with one of those insulted freezer bags that she bought and said "take this, maybe it will keep those poor things from self destruction" Bought 15, same routine, and all got home safely. Since then I have picked up 80 of them all in that bag and not one broken. Faith, luck or just a grocery insulated freezer bag?
