As a relative newcomer to meteorite collecting I apologize for any niavete. Those people who are tired of rust threads should probably skip this messege now. However, if anybody who has used VCIs wants to field these questions, I would be grateful.</P> <P>I've gathered a few bits and pieces about VCI from the archives and recent discussions about rusting irons. However, I'm not sure that I have a clear picture about when they are good to use. </P> <P>Firstly, Has anyone experienced unwanted reactions with any of the following materials</P> <P>A. The various minerals that are abundant in meteorites that are not irons</P> <P>B. plastics such as those found in display/storage containers</P> <P>C. Other coatings (In my case I have wiped a bunch of Sikhotes with a silicone gun cloth)</P> <P>D. dessicants</P> <P>E. human health</P> <P>Secondly, can they be used in very small containers such as plastic cubes that are as small as about 10X10X10 cm?</P> <P>Finally, does anybody have recommendations about specific product names and suppliers?</P> <P>Thank you for your time</P> <P>Stephen McMann</P> <P> </P> <P> <BR><BR></P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN 8 helps <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMSENUS/2752??PS=">ELIMINATE E-MAIL VIRUSES.</a> Get 2 months FREE*.</html> Received on Tue 01 Jul 2003 06:22:27 PM PDT |
