Cu Dendrite Salvation
I've got copper dendrites, some in acid (pH ≈ 2) and some in base (ph ≈ 12). I'm looking for suggestions on how to get them out and dry with
minimal oxidation so as to keep them nice and pretty.

Rinse with ethanol and than with ether (or another volatile solvent). It should dry quickly.

Can I trust you, you being a Witch-King or Witch-King minion and all?

Dissolve a little oil in the ether so that gets left as a protective coating.

Agh, I should be banished to the Void myself for getting Angband and Angmar mixed up.
