I recently found a lot of great teeth in soft Eagle Ford formation slabs, and I'm working to prep a few to expose them better. This is my first prep project ever. The slabs are quite soft, and break apart easily if I'm not careful.
What can I do as a preventative measure to avoid breakage of the matrix, and if matrix pieces have broken apart, is there a glue that I should use to get them back together in one piece again? Also, one of the slabs has a mosasaur tooth in it, and near the tip is a tiny crack that I'm worried may completely fail, breaking off the tip. I would like to find a clear glue or coating that would stabilize it before I continue further.
I'm not sure about how specific I have to be about the nature of the matrix to get the right glue, so just in case I'll tag a few locals who have probably worked with these soft eagle ford slabs before, @LSCHNELLE @JohnJ @Uncle Siphuncle
Thanks for any help
