This may be familiar to most people who use paraloid dissolved in acetone. It is now familiar to me. Acetone trumps crazy glue. If you take a specimen held together in one place by crazy glue and submerge it in paraloid/acetone to consolidate it, the pieces that were held together by crazy glue will no longer be so. When you take your specimen out of the solution, the paraloid won’t have dried yet, and so you can’t count on paraloid’s adhesive qualities to compensate for the now-missing crazy glue. No big harm done, luckily. And now I know. I may have read this somewhere already on this forum, but there’s nothing like hands-on experience to remember a fact.

Hi everyone! I have what I was told is Red Hill matrix that has been sitting on my porch for a very long time now... Anyone familiar with this matrix that can help me out? I am wondering if it does in fact look like Red Hill and the best way to break the matrix down? Some are very large chunks that have too much quartz to dissolve I think but here are some of the smaller pieces. As you can see there's a lot of shells in there... lol Any feedback appreciated! Thanks in advance.
