Folks, I need an archival consolidant that doesn’t dry glossy. The problem is the plant material I want to protect from flacking is sorta clay/soft shale. Even 5% w/v Paraloid in acetone is giving a glossy appearance. Not too bad on the fossil but looks horrible on matrix and fossil. In fact to increase contrast I like it on the fossil. Coating just the fossil isn’t an option.
