<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3015955, member: 91609&quot;]There are many opinions about toning, some like it &amp; some don&#039;t.&nbsp; What you must understand is that it IS a function of the environment, &amp; just because it&#039;s &quot;in a normal, cool dry place in my house&quot;, that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s SAFE from vapors &amp; elements which may interact with it.&nbsp; For example, if you keep it in a gun safe which actually has guns &amp; powder residue in it, that could trigger (no pun intended) a reaction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What you consider dry may not be dry enough - you may need some desiccant in close proximity.&nbsp; And there are many household items which give off chemical vapors over their lifetime (do you store them in Tupperware?).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to &quot;conserve&quot; (read: clean the correct way) &amp; you don&#039;t want to attempt it yourself, send it back to the TPG - virtually all the top ones will provide this service (for a fee) &amp; you will be reasonably assured it will be done correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, do an honest evaluation of your storage methods.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
