A colleague from a "natural history" museum asked that I post this question.

He has a cedar chest the contents of which were "protected" (sic) with moth balls.

They've tried everything from air to molecular "zero-odor" lock.

Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers,

Lois
