Re: clearing dichromate stain
With all the Karen email I have received, it's hard to tell if I am hearing the sound of one hand clapping or a dead horse being beaten...... hehehehe In a message dated 1/11/07 8:07:01 PM, kthayer@pacifier.com writes: P.S. I called my sister this morning per our usual Saturday custom; she wasn't home so I talked to her husband for a few minutes. He said, "I'm writing an e-mail to express my annoyance about something." I said, "Funny, I've just done the same thing." He said his was about difficulties in selling his parents' home, and asked what mine was about. I said, "Well, as a matter of fact, mine was about potassium metabisulfite." We laughed, but since he's an analytical chemist, he was curious what could be annoying about potassium metabisulfite. I said, "Well, this person thinks that potassium metabisulfite is 'infinitely better' than say potassium or sodium bisulfite for clearing dichromate stain, because potassium metabisulfite is more soluble and therefore it washes out of paper faster." He said, "Hunh? That makes no sense." I said, "Exactly." Since there doesn't seem to be much point in prolonging this discussion further, I won't.
