[meteorite-list] Renaissance Wax Polish

Renaissance Wax is used by museums to protect valuable metals. It is also used by knife collectors to keep the metal in knives from rusting. Does anyone have any experience using this wax on iron meteorites? Bill Russell

Bill: I don't have any experience with Renaissance wax, but I have used regular paraffin wax on my Nantan and Campo and it has significantly reduced the oxidation. First melt the wax, then put the meteorite into it, completely submerged, for one half hour. Remove it and lay it on a paper
