READ ME FIRST.
Every once in a while the topic of consolidants and adhesives comes up. I've attached some information that has helped me in the past.
The first is a publication put out y the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections.
The next is a discussion of consolidants and adhesives put out by Florida Museum Of Natural History.
The final document is a study I did on consolidants about 15 years ago.
To this day my favorite adhesive is a combination of Paraloid B 72 and acetone at various concentrations. I like this because it is reversible in acetone. If I have an immediate need in the field I prefer superglue. My favorite consolidant continues to be Elmer's glue all (poly vinyl acetate emulsion) diluted to 5 to 10% in water.
I hope this information proves useful.
