Subject: Warning: Cyalumes dissolve plastic
To: "'techdiver@terra.net'" <techdiver@terra.net>

Over the weekend a cyalume I had leaked and ate into one of my 
plastic dry boxes. I did a little testing, and found that both new and
dead cyalumes will do that, to several kinds of plastic. So, looks like 
the "non-toxic" label they carry applies only to us. Kind of a pity too,
I was thinking I could bundle a couple dozen together and drop my
104 on them for an awesome cave light. Back to the batteries I guess.

Hope this was worth knowing.
