Fossiljones Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I've never worked with consolidents, but I need to start consolidating some of my treasures. Reading through the posts here it seems many of them are a few years old, and there are some new products not mentioned. For example Butvar B76 is mentioned, but I see online that it's been "discontinued" and the recommended replacement is "B08SY". Does anyone have experience with "B08S"? Is there one good "all around" consolident? For example one that could be used on bone as well as Mammoth tusk, Mastodon teeth, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDudeCO Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I use Paraloid B-72 and PaleoBond PaleoBond is pricey, but well worth it, useable on almost all types of fossils, great if you collect a variety of things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My preferred consolidant is McGean B-15 (PVA). Formerly and still often referred to as Vinac. +1 for @FossilDudeCO's Paleo Bond recommendation. It is really good and can be had in multiple different thicknesses for varied uses.
