Dear List,
A quick question regarding rust. 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.
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.
Sincerely,
Stephen McMann
