Where do you guys buy your prep supplies? I've looked on line and have mixed feelings about some of the places that do offer this kind of stuff. I'm sure people here have their favorite sellers who won't rip a rookie like me off. Thanks!!!!

Hey everyone, Today I worked on applying vinac to plant fossils and messed up on one fossil and I was wondering if there was anyway to remove vinac from a fossil? Could acetone work? Any suggestions are wanted! Thanks!

Hey everyone, I recently purchased vinac beads to help preserve my fossils and when I got it, the directions tell me to mix the beads with pure acetone. As we know, pure acetone is flammable and dangerous to breath in and so my question is, when you mix the Vinac beads with acetone, is the resulting Vinac still flammable and dangerous to breath in or does the Vinac neutralize it? When the Vinac dries onto the fossil after applied, is it still dangerous to breath in and flammable? Also, what type of filter or mask should I use when using acetone to prevent damage to lungs? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

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.?
