[Ifeffit] Kapton in glove box (Todd Monson)

[Scott Calvin]

Hi Todd,

Kapton is resistant to most solvents, but that's not necessarily true  
for the adhesive on it! I've had the adhesive completely washed away  
by samples with a little solvent on them before. So you should test  
that before preparing your samples.
