<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><div><br></div><div>I wanted to ask you about the effects of cotton in wet mollusk collections. I know cotton is not safe for specimens in fish collections because it tends to absorb lipids. Have anyone heard if this happens to Mollusca collections as well? I have looked at some resources but haven't had any luck. I know polyester fiber is good, and I also heard recently about butter muslin.<br></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px">Any thoughts or recommendations?</span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px">Thanks,<br></span></font><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="SignatureSanitizer__MailAutoSig"><b>Laura A.
