[meteorite-list] Campo Preservation

[lakewind at infionline.net]

Hi Gary,
I give my "gentle" rusters an occasional brushing with a wire brush to
remove scale. Then I spray them with Sheath, an excellent preservative that
dries relatively quickly and doesn't have a strong odor. Sheath can be
found at Gander Mt. (maybe Cabelas). It's used to protect and preserve
guns. 
If I've handed the meteorite around the classroom, afterword I'll wipe the
surface with 99-percent isopropyl alcohol (just ask for it at a drugstore.
They'll order it. About $2 a bottle.) and then spray with Sheath. So far so
good on my irons.
Bob

Hi List,

I recently picked up a unique shaped campo that I like very much, but it
has some surface 
rust on it.  Should I leave it?  'Dry' brush it and leave it?    Brush it
and lightly oil 
it?  If oil, is there a preference?  I don't want to devalue this piece by
mistreating 
it.

Thanks,

Gary
