Quest didn't "get that memo" then, because they call them "igniters" on the packages (see: http://www.questaerospace.com/cgi-b...action&key=5666 ), even though they have no pyrogen. But that's okay--I'll remove the starters from the package and put them in a Zip-Loc bag before I package them for mailing. |
