I will be moving and have about 10/12 cans of Goex. Any precautions I should be aware of? Don't want an explosion enroute.

FWIW, when I order a case of Goex from a Goex distributor, it's shipped to me cross country in a pretty simple cardboard box...I'd be more concerned about various state laws you may encounter transporting it through a state than the transporting itself...obviously what nobody knows won't hurt them, but you could get stopped in some sort of unrelated road side checkpoint.

You might even pose the question to Goex themselves for advice.

While you do not need a Federal placard on your vehicle, it would be nice if you were able to warn police and fire should there be an accident or fire.

On a related point, I looked at it for a trip that would take me through New York State, and they have a law requiring such a placard on the outside of the vehicle stating that it contains black powder.
