>Gut guess is that eliminating partitioning as much as possible is the kindest way to treat your silicone (no Dragan, I am NOT talking about breast implants, don't have any and so on...)
Actually, silicon (aka silicium in eurospeak) is what you use in electronic, and silicone (aka silly cone) is that internal bra. The mistake is quite common in many languages - in serbian it would be silicijum vs silikon, and amazingly very few people confuse "silicijumska dolina" - the silicon valley in CA - with "silikonska dolina" - Studenička street in Belgrade, where many wearers of the gelly substance display their new looks, it was a fashionable place for a while.
