I have been mulling over a simple strategy for the long term care of my SAs (and other meteorites). Right now it seems that a good strategy is to give the SAs an alcohol and NaOH treatment to dispose of the Cl- from fingerprints etc., and otherwise keep them with VCIs and dessicant.</P> <P>A possible complication is that several of my SAs were once wiped with a silicone gun cloth (by me). However, for the alcohol and NaOH treatment to be most effective I assume that the silicone coating should go. What is a good method for removing such a coating? Will the alcohol and NaOH remove it? If anyone has some thoughts about this, I would be interested in them. Hopefully I am asking for information that is not just waiting in the archives. </P> <P>Sincerely,</P> <P>Stephen McMann</P> <P> </P></DIV><FONT face=3Darial,helvetica><FONT face=3Darial,helvetica> <DIV></DIV></FONT></FONT></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2740??PS=">Instant message during games with MSN Messenger 6.0.
