Jim,

My list shows  clean, highly polished glass as the most positive item.  the
hands are listed as number 4.  I'll have to try asbestos!  I will note that
the entire body (flesh) is quite posiitve indeed.  But portionately to area,
I have noted glass to exceed the body.  I'll have to do some tests with the
Keithley.
