Thanks! Oh yes, it's definitely possible to analyse the resin. Spectroscopy is an option, but I think something like DSC or maybe mass spectrometry could also be useful. In this case, because we don't...

Great read! I will admit, I did glaze over a few of the heavy chemistry bits, but it was good to read the breakdown of some common pen materials :)

Hey Tina, sorry for the late reply. As an answer to your question, palladium is a noble metal, which means it's quite resistant to oxidising. In theory, that means it'll most likely be fine when using...
