Hi all, We have had some very tiny mineral crystals (.05 in.) become stuck to gooey scotch tape by having the Post Office crush a vial they had been sent to us in. They are quite valuable. The tape accidentally but fortunately saved a few.
Now we need to separate the little guys from the goo. Our best idea has been to put the tape and crystals in a clean glass vial and dissolve the tape, (both the plastic film AND adhesive), leaving the crystals to sink to the bottom for collection. Any of you lab folks know a good solvent for plastic tape? Best, Dave and Sarah ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
