Bob,

... In a Tupperware box I would use a paper VCI rather than a plastic
emitter (since it is such a small space), but don't forget you can cut
the paper ones up with scissors too. You wont need a very big piece of
VCI in a small box.

They also do VCI bags which are impregnated, I have not used these so
don't know if they are suitable for direct contact with meteorites for a
long=20
period. My experience is more with the air emitting types.=20

Remember that paper rapping/bag VCI's are a little different to the Air
emiiting ones, some paper protection packing strips I have seen are
nothing more than Oil soaked paper!, you need to make sure they are
proper ones for the job.

Cheers,

Mark Ford

I've read this thread with great interest and appreciate the information

list members have shared. Can you also use a VCI emitter inside a=20
tupperware-type container holding meteorites in boxes and bags?=20
Would it still be effective in this situation or do the materials have
to be=20
out of the package in order to get the protection?
Thanks!
Bob
