Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hi Barb, I suggest to cover the outgassing antiques with thick plastic foil. I'm sure, Christo would like this. - As you're planning to sell your antiques, you can't use self-adhesive aluminium foil or AFM Safe Coat. Good luck, Ingrid > Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 11:58:38 -0800 (PST) > From: Barb <barb1283@...> > Subject: Wrapping antigues up > > Does anyone know if I could wrap antiques in plastic or something to protect myself from possible toxins coming from them. I'm afraid they are too valuable to pitch out. I will look for antique dealer. There are alot of them. I checked into storage lockers but I can't find anything lower than $50 a month to store and that is too much for me right now with all the other health care expenses I have had. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 No, it doesn't work. Of course nobody believes me so I recommend that you simply test the concept for yourself. Take a contaminated article to an outdoor location that feels " safe " . Wash your hands. While walking into the wind, put the test sample in a watertight plastic bag - taking care not to cross contaminate the outside of the bag. Wash this plastic bag and then repeat the process by putting the " remediated " bag into another plastic bag. Seal the seams with tape. Wash everything. This is the process remediologists use for sealing samples inside petri dishes that are to be sent for mold identification. Take your " sealed " sample to your safe location and see if it makes a relative change in your symptoms. Now you know for yourself, with no need to take anyones word for it. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
