All,
I was curious what others use in their relaxing chambers to keep 
fungus at bay.  I have used PDB but the carcinogenic and other long 
term effects are not good.  I have heard phenol is used but am not 
aware of the health effects.  What about ammonia?  Ethanol or 
isopropyl?  Stiffness of specimens?
Thanks,  Rich
