[meteorite-list] Barkeepers Friend is an IRON Meteorite's Best Friend

[David & Kitt Deyarmin]

I use a product called Barkeepers Friend to clean my iron slices after the 
etching process and as a part of my regular maintenance.


Here is a description from their web site

"Bar Keepers Friend®  One can does it all!  The best professional powdered 
cleanser since 1882.  The unique formula in Bar Keepers Friend gently 
removes stains other cleansers can't.  It will even remove rust, and is 
great for cleaning stainless steel."

I don't know why but it makes the etch pop, and it seems to protect it from 
rust.


It is available at Wal-Mart for around $2.50 for a "Comet" sized can.
