Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Greetings from a new member in South Carolina. I joined because I'd been intending to for some time and I have some topics for you already. My hands and arms are feeling stressed and weak. I want to soak them in DMSO -- up to the elbow or farther -- but am wondering what kind of container might exist for that purpose. Anybody done a study (or happen to know) what materials won't react to it? PVC maybe -- joined with what adhesive? I had assumed that most any kind of plastic would be OK, but something really strange happened. I tried filling the clear plastic top of a hand dicing gadget about the size of a long shoe. The plastic started immediately (if very slowly) " frosting " up. Hours or days later the thing looked exactly as if somebody had put that amount of water in it and put it on the ground at the North Pole. It was heavily " frosted " (not only cosmetically) and the DMSO got cloudy and grew a permanent surface on most of the top, just like partly frozen water. Temperature has nothing to do with it -- it's permanent. Fortunately I'd only soaked my hand about 30 seconds before realizing the thing meant business. I poured the remaining liquid on the ground but still have the thing. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
