Hi Ron, hi Zoe, hi all...and...



Is not the duration of the 'what' as is in the suspect
vessel of import?


As well as what the 'what' is, as IS in it...?


A 'Lead Glaze' Bowl from 1910 say, with dry popped Popcorn
in it...sitting for hours...

Verses, with left over Spaghetti Sauce or Marrinaide in it
over-night in the 'fridge...


Big difference I would think...


A ('suspect') Mug say...with a quick glass of Water in it
for five seconds...verses something like 'tang' or Orange
Juice in it for a few hours...

Big difference...I would think...


No?


Yours,


Phil
