Dissolve paper
« on: October 30, 2006, 09:14:21 PM »
What chemical(s) do I need to dissolve a document. I want it to take 2-3 weeks before the document is destroyed?

How about a bacteria culture, instead of a chemical?

I think people will need more information. For example, is the paper going to soaking in a chemical in a beaker? Or do you need to be able to use the paper for writing/printing on? toxic/non-toxic chemical? corrosives? What are you trying to do? Also what type of paper is it?
