rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 09/18/2013 8:01 pm Hi all, what's the best way to care for zincolns that have exposed zinc? I have found a few DDO's and DDR's that are showing zinc around some of the devices. I fear that one day they will start rotting and eventually be worthless. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/18/2013 9:48 pm Simply put them in a 2x2 or similar flip. If for long term, seal with 3M tape on all 3 sides that open. Or just put in those plastic flips and seal. As long as air doesn't get to them, should last a few hundred years. If that doesn't work for a few hundred years, let me know.
