[meteorite-list] Getting rust off membranebox polyurethane

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha,

Living in humid, salt-spray laden atmosphere in Hawaii, I have had  
some challenges with oxidation of my iron, stony-iron, and even some  
chondrite meteorites.  Many have weeped ferrous oxide, staining the  
polyurethane membrane with rust.  Ugh.  I've tried cleaning it off  
with alcohol to no avail.  Has anyone cleaned rust off their membrane  
boxes, and if so what have you used?
