Well, if it is your intention to have these used as educational materials, then you would want to present these in the most naturial way possible. If you want to make a quick buck, then by all means, mess them up with oil. For the sake of the students who will benifit from these kits, stick to a method that will stick in their minds as outstanding teaching aids. I do a lot of outreach, using my collection for teaching aids. I can tell you from firsthand experience that natural is by far the prefered way. Pete Shugar IMCA 1733
