Hi Tennyson

I presume the material is not geostrata ; plastics ? ;metal ?;
if that is so ; try Nanotek ; they're in the metal creep testers ;
should have a solution for you .
JPL or NASA would have something on the subject if you'd get through
their pages .

What's the subject , did you chip an UFO to bits ?  If I may know, that
is .
Sounds interesting .

The address is :

See you                 paul
