Hi

    It has been reported by Mark Mann of PAI (tip of the hat to Mark)
    that iodine will discolor palladium, and is easily polished off.
    Platinum does not react at all. Made me curious if iodine would be
    for 950 palladium what liver of sulphur is for silver. Has anyone
    tried it yet? May be I will at the next palladium seminar.
