[meteorite-list] Don't use putty!

[Mark Bowling]

Kitty litter is similar to a product used to clean up oil spills, which is called "floor dry".  I'm not sure, but perhaps it's a bit better suited for oils (maybe worth to try as an alternative to kitty litter).  But maybe it's the same stuff, just packaged differently and the price marked up for sale to industrial sites....

I have a question.  At my Lapidary Club when minerals are cut with a saw using oil, even some minerals absorb the oil.  They put them in a box with kitty litter and the oil stain comes out.  Would this work for the stained meteorites?  I have not tried it yet but do have several  stone meteorite specimens which are stained from the putty stuff.
