The curtain is about to fall on the final act in the saga of our Thanksgiving leftovers. We'll make a quick trip to my dad's to share the last of the turkey salad and bestow a gift of the last of the gravy, which would just go to waste if we kept it.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure what you could do to stop it.

There are quite a few chemicals you can use to stop it as there are quite a few things that react with iron oxide more readily than aluminum oxide, and vice versa. Though, due to the heat it would take an awful lot really fast to ‘get past’ the heat to get to the iron or aluminum oxide and use them up. But, it is nothing you will have unless you live in a chemical supply shop so be careful and play with it in a friend’s garage and now your own!

Show me where you live! I promise it will only hurt the first time.
