Removable adhesive

[gms]

Hi guys! I'm looking for a removable adhesible similar to "blu tack" but without the consequences it has when removing sticked pieces such as bones. Do you know any please? What do you use to display articulated fossils?

 

Than you in advance

Which is what?  Ive never used the stuff before.

 

I have used a museum wax however, which is a clear ( so its not blatantly visible ) sticky subsance that does not have the oils to soak into bone or other porous surfaces. It worked very well on my deer leg mount.

I’ve heard of stuff called museum putty or museum wax that may be along the lines of what you are looking for, but I have never used it so I can’t attest to its effectiveness.

I think this is the stuff the OP is referring to.

You're right

This is what I have used.  Worked good for me.  Available at art supply stores and "big box" home improvement stores.

Thanks!

I have heard that this product (Museum Wax) is very difficult to remove from the fossil which is very dissapointing. This could happen with blu-tack adhesive.

Try some of the mineral tacks such as Geo-Tac from Shannon and Son’s Minerals.

Depending on the application, some extremely viscous Paraloid would work and be 100% removable.
