Thanks Alan,
The instruction I read said methanol so just making sure and typically
do not deviate from instruction without at least checking.
I do not have methanol or denatured ethanol here currently, only
isopropanol.
I figured I'd be okay...was not sure about the carbon.
Jason: LOL! I and a lot of others would be long dead if they were all
the same! But yes, all part of the -OH functional group. When I was
doing the First Responder
stuff, instead of saying the patient was drunk we'd say "ETOH on
board". Gotta love corn!
Jim
I just lightly polish the C-coated section on a 1-µm lap and then clean
it with ethanol.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Removing carbon coating???
Hi List!
I've read methanol is good for removing carbon from thin sections.
How about using alcohol? Anyone try this?
Thank you!
Jim
