Coin Chit Chat / Fly spray and coins
April 11, 2013, 10:51:17 PM
Hi all, this forum looks great and I'm excited to be able to participate.

While checking out the forum I have been tempted to leap in and add a comment to an existing thread or two, (such as loving the Styer much better than the SLR because of reduced kickback and using smooooooth graphite powder rather than icky oil while participating in dusty and dirty exercises)  but thought I might kick off with a query instead.  Here it is:

I  live in the tropics and mosquitos are a huge problem here because of dengue fever, ross river fever etc so I have mossie coils burning all the time and use heaps of fly spray.

As I may have my counter (oh, okay, and maybe parts of my table as well) ... (and well maybe a few other surfaces too) covered in coins that I am noodling, sorting, and oogling, I have wondered what sort of archival and/or detrimental effect the use of coils and spray might have on my babies.

Any thoughts or information about the long term effects this might have?
