[NHCOLL-L:4559] Re: Jade R glue for herbarium specimen mounting

[Anderson, Gretchen]

Hi Kent, 

 

Your question came in while I was at the AIC Adhesives workshop - so I
took the opportunity to ask the instructors.  Full testing has not been
done - however, I saw a sample of dried adhesive that was yellowed. It
was only one year old.  We also popped a dried glob into water and let
it soak for most of the week - it swelled and reabsorbed, but did not
reverse.  


Good luck

Hi Kent,

 

Of course you could try Herbarium Supply http://www.herbariumsupply.com

 

Another option and, somewhat less expensive if you buy in larger
quantities is Lubrizol (Please see below their contact info -- and I am
not endorsing that company, btw).
