I have only bad experiences. Also if meteorite is stable this will start blowing some day. Its the same as puting meteorites to plastic bags. I have etched dronino from my collection without oil into membrane box for experiment when it will start rusting. And from 1 month nothing, no any one piece of rust. So In my opinion the best is to oil meteorites, heat them, oil again and leave them on open air and change oil from time to time (thin layer). Ofcourse dont try this on Florida :) -----[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-----[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]----- http://www.Meteoryt.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PolandMET.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 --------[ Member of: Polish Meteoritical Society ]-------- ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
