More or less my point, too! I do not believe (nor have I said) that
silver practices can be used to advantage in all other processes!

That's in fact exactly my point (and that's why I'm saying that the
safest thing is to stick with formalin)! I'm always sceptical when
changing a tried and tested practice. Nevertheless, if nobody deared

to test glyoxal, is the supposed reduction in health risc.
