What are these screens made out of? Will they leech stuff if you put something acidic on them?

Food grade plastic. Don't think you'll have any issues there. Have dried multiple fruits and veggies and haven't noticed anything that would make me wary of them.

I'm not sure of the exact material, but they're some kind of flexible plastic. Mine warped and distorted after two uses and melted to pieces after three uses, all while drying walnuts and cashews that I'd soaked in salt water.

There is some fiber and texture. You also get a screen to filter the fiber out if you want to.

They are made out of Silicone. Mine also leaked goo but i was able to easily get replacements and now i love them!

Physically, yes, it's perfectly suited for that. However, you'll need to check with local laws on rubbish burning, also beware of any chemically-treated paper as it can cause some nasty (potentially toxic) fumes. Also beware of flyaway ash that could become a fire hazard. I would make sure the screen is over the pit at all times to avoid that hazard. Remove as many staples and paperclips as possible and make sure nothing is in plastic document sheets.

Apparently not. For the first few uses, cleaning was a cinch. Since then, without any change in my recipe, the screens have become almost impossible to clean and have torn.

Directions to "slap" it on, (you'll need to be more intentional than that) will come in the packaging. There' also a link to a video, you should watch. The screen itself should last a long time unless you somehow scratch or tear it.

You don't use any type of acid base products with soldering. It's going to eat your Electronics!

We have had both of the screens in place since we received them. We live in Nebraska and to date, have not noticed any rust on either white screen.

The standard screen that I used for tomatoes, etc. A Berry screen that I used for Blackberries and a Pumpkin screen. I love this item and highly recommend it. You can find a cheaper plastic one but I have had both and I will stay with the stainless steel one. It is much sturdier.

Hi K. Davis, This is the toughest screen I have ever seen, better than anything in any of the big box stores... i.e., Menard's, Home Depot... However, I also have had cats and I cannot guarantee it will make it through your cats wrath. I also don't think it would block micro-bugs. It would block an ant though (if that helps).

Box indicates NO PVC - ACID FREE - also safe storage for Holograms and UV Protection - I am very happy with them and even though they were a bit expensive - the value is worth it. Hope this helps you

Don't know but it appears to be made out of stainless and is put together well. While camping in the Sierra's we used the water faucets in the campground and the water pressure was extremely high, but the screen held together well and there was no visual change to the screen after blasting it with the high water pressure. My advice would be to clean asap after using so the oils in the coffee don't build up on the screen.

I agree with other responses that this sounds like hard water from your tap, and it's not harmful, just ugly. In addition to the vinegar and water responses, I suggest a few drops of lemon juice in the water bowl when it's filled, and clean it with lemon juice as well. If the film is really stubborn you might add baking soda.

Just the screens. They come in handy when you are drying small items like onions, asparagus or berries.

I don't think so I haven't used it on screen but have not seen signs of it being corrosive. A light mist should work good on screen.

No, they are made of a soft smooth leather and have not had any effect on the screen of my ipad. I hope this helps.

Check to make sure this plastic is Acid and/or BPA free. If not, over time, the acid will leech and destroy paper products
