    Hi Janet.  No, I saw your original posting.  Looks as though the
    only way you'll get to the bottom of this is by doing some
    experiments.  As I said, doing chemistry at a distance is tricky at
    best!  Good luck, and please keep us posted on what you find.  You
    may just have stumbled on something useful!!
