Dear Harry,

I did understand that you simply coat shells with Armor All.  What I
believed that if more collectors start to use it eventually someone will
get the idea of soaking the shell in it.  Will spraying a lilac Oliva
sayana with Armor All keep the shell from fading?  I think it would be
more effective to soak such a shell so the substance can penetrate.
This is where I started to run into problems.
