|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: boston, ma | | | speaking from a product development standpoint, plastic packaging makes all the difference. part of my job at a consumer goods company here in boston was qualifying the plastics used in the packaging materials for our products. thrilling work let me tell you, but it really does make a difference, especially when your vendors change their specs and it has a negative impact on your product.
in this case, they've made the plastic with a chemical that resists the flow of oxygen to prevent corrosion when they sit on shelves forever. |

"we use a new plastic that prevents the flow of air and makes our product last longer!"
ranting on and On about the polymer matrix wont make sense to most people. |

| | | | The hi tech bag I got last week had buffing compound in it with my Chromes. I had them on and was stretching them before I realized my fingers were getting dirty.
Guess I should have checked them beforehand. I read about this in TB. Now I've got brand new strings in the cleaning tube.
