[Nhcoll-l] fire control device

[Steve Sullivan]

Does anyone have experience or opinions about the Elide Fire Ball?  There
are a variety of videos online that make it look like a potentially useful
supplement in places like wet collections.  While it looks like it might
have some objectionable residue, several videos show it extinguishing fires
quickly and, at the end of the video, shows that the explosion doesn't
damage anything, including people.  In conditions where the specimens are
protected from the dust, it seems this could be a useful product.

Here's one example on Youtube, Universal Elide Fire Ball:
