What's the difference between large and small bubbles?

The fundamental difference is one of softness. Large bubbles are softer and thus more suited to delicate things, unless you just need the extra thickness to bulk out a box.

However, small bubbles will carry more weight. For example, if you wrapped three heavy doors in large bubble wrap you may find the bubbles bursting with the weight. In such a situation smaller bubbles will do better.

Which bubble wrap to use for repro furniture?

Bubble wrap should not be used on polished furniture. For some reason the bubbles get imprinted on the surface. As an alternative, we recommend using PE Foam in 2.5mm thickness. This is made for the furniture industry and is ideal for any highly polished wood surface.

Can I use bubble wrap to cover my swimming pool?

Unfortunatly no. Firstly, packaging bubble wrap is not tough enough to withstand the constant movement. Secondly, normal bubble wrap is made of polythene which is not UV stable so it rots away in sunlight. You will need the special material sold by pool companies.
