Well, Nick, I also was going to ask what I will need to clean the donor tube that will go in the "coffin," but you've answered that. I can attest to the nasty nature. The second tube I got from you (with the lesser emission) was so deteriorated that the glass slid around on the ooze as I was carrying it into the house (fortunately had my hand under the face) and now has oozed out onto the blanket I set it on. The blanket now could be used for a stage setting of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. Even if there's something that could remove it from the blanket, I wouldn't try to do it in the washing machine.

By the way, once the tube is clean, what's the best thing for gluing the glass back in place?
