However, there may had been other wood based compositions that had contained it. Also, by the time that indurated fiber started being used for underground cable insulation, this was a new recipe that I did not document or pay much attention to (so it may have but unsure). I am glad that you found the site useful :-) Thank you -- Michael Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
