Re: Could anything go wrong with this mix?

I got a question from a museum here in NYC that is using a complex mixture to clean a artifact. I need help to be sure there is nothing here that could be a problem.

First they mix
100ml water (distilled)
0.5g Citric acid (chelator)
0.5g Boric acid (buffer)
Adjust pH to 8.0 with 1M NaOH solution

This mixture is added to 200ml of 2% xanthan gum in DI water which makes a gel

Next they add to the gel
12% of a solvent mixture that is a 6:1:1 mixture of benzyl alcohol : ethyl acetate : diethyl ketone
then they add 8% Shellsol OMS.
