My fear was that it would damage the coating (didn't know what the coatings are actually made of so i wasn't sure) We use it in a organic chem lab to clean all out glassware, we remove by placing it in a oven, I do have to disagree with you on one thing, It does not leave a film on the glass. - -- Michael Garmisa <elmar@webreach.com>
