Collodion: What is it good for?

[dprice@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Don Price)]

	Has anyone a clue what collodion would be used for in a radiation
safety program?  We were looking through our collection of solvents/reagents
a while ago, and found about a half-liter of this.

	For those wondering what collodion is, it seems to be a solution
of nitrocellulose in ether (unopened), so oxygen decomposition  products
are a secondary consideration.

	We do not have an immediate use for this material, but if there
is a valid use for this in the context of sample preperation, analysis,
etc., maybe we can use it, rather than dispose of it.
