This kind of paper does not burn very well. I have tried it. Burning it in my fireplace will take forever. A drum is an option though.
Is the additive to the paper alcohol soluble? If so soak it in alcohol for a few minutes, say a half hour, and then burn it. Should go quite well. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

Jim, try it. I am sure that adding alcohol will not help much, but will make it a fire hazard. Can one buy concentrated sulfuric acid in this country without being stormed by jackbooted thugs? I think that I'll need a couple of gallons. To that I'll need about teh same amount of chalk-like material to neutralize it after the deed is done. - Igor.

Come on, Igor, just go out and make a bonfire. I can't see why this is turning into a major thread, "How Igor can burn a box of documents." As for buying H2SO4, of _course_ one can buy it! But it's a really dumb way to destroy some papers. Just burn them. I don't get what the problem is. (And don't repeat that they are "hard to burn." Unless they are made of some other than paper, which is doubtful, they will burn.) --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Okay, I will try burning it tonight. Will let you know how it works. - Igor.

I'd use NaOH instead - after you're done, just leave it sit out, and it will neutralize itself by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, dissolving the ink into little crystal structures which look kinda pretty...
