Preservation vertebrae

[rebu]

Hi friend, I am working on a cluster of shark vertebrae and need advice on preservation. I have decided to clean up the whole sample and expose some of the fragments of different bones which are in the matrix surrounding the vertebrae. I need to stabilize the whole sample after I finish but I can't get here in Czech republic Butvar b76 as many people recommend. Can I use PARALOID B72 or AKEPOX 1005? Will I be able to apply paraloid with a brush and is it even suitable for this? Can you please advise or recommend other product?

Hello,

 

I always work with paraloid B72. It is easy to work with and is also reversible.

This should definitely work on your vertebrae

Thank you Natalie. Can I apply it with the brush and is there no chance it will desolve the bone fragments?

That would be no problem, but do not make your paraloid too thick.

And no it will not desolve you're bone fragments, I also use this to strengthen bones
