[RYAN PAWELSKI]

Hi Tracy and listees...

As you may or may not know, I have been using VCI emmiters in two plastic display cases for over a year now, and  
they have not discolored the surfaces in any way. The VCI molocules are only attracted to metal surfaces, so the only thing I can think of that would discolor a surface (make it cloudy) would be direct contact with a highly concentrated sponge-type emmiter bearing the oily residue of the actual VCI product. Anyone else care so share any thoughts or experiences with VCI emmiters?

Does anyone have experience with putting slips of VCI in the plastic jewel 
boxes many of us use for display?  I am thinking of purchasing some for that 
purpose, but want to make sure it will not degrade the boxes (darken or 
frost the clear plastic, make it weep, etc.)  Anything that can prevent my 
irons from having an adverse reaction to the moist, salty Hawaiian air is a 
plus!
