[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 4312, member: 13"] Perhaps it was the alloy? My research at the time was that formic does not eat aluminium. So, when I investigated another method of dispensing formic, the "flash" method, i built the units from aluminium, and the formic was applied directly to the aluminium. I still have those units and there is no damage to the aluminium other than the normal surface oxidation. There is a strong belief that stainless steel is the way to go. No. Formic eats stainless steel. [/QUOTE]
