[meteorite-list] List of known Rusters?

[Jason Utas]

Hello All,
I can't speak for its effectiveness, but Rig Universal Grease is still
available:

If this is what you're talking about, it doesn't look as though it's
being discontinued any time soon.
Also, stay away from Nantan, Dronino, Campo, and
Muonionalusta...unless they've been professionally treated.  Brahin is
also cursed, as are Brenham and Admire.  They can supposedly be
treated to prevent rusting - not having owned any of these meteorites
because of the horrors I've seen (well, we once had some Nantan, and
now have several), I again will not comment on the effectiveness of
these treatments; I've no idea if they work or not.  All I know is
that all of those meteorites are predisposed to self-destruction.
Regards,
Jason

I've had them for about 4 years....not a speck of rust.  I have one Campo that was pretreated by the seller with some sort of dark colored supposed protectant, and it has slowly started to rust away.  I figure that Campo will be almost completely rusted in another 5 years.  I wish the seller had just left it alone, and I would have treated it with "Rig", and it would not have had any rust on it.
>  One problem with "Rig".  I don't think it's manufactured anymore.  Too bad....the stuff REALLY prevents rust, and you can't even tell it's on the meteorite.  You just apply a thin coat (it's a type of grease, but disappears when applied).  The meteorites are not oily at all after treatment.  Once I run out of the stuff, then I'm in the same boat as everyone else.
