[Nhcoll-l] wax, butterflies in stores, and food prep

[Fran Ritchie]

Karen,

A thought on your first question:  The Peabody Museum at Harvard casts thin
sheets of silicone rubber onto silicone release mylar (polyester film).
Once the rubber has set, pieces can be cut to desired shape and size. The
silicone might be able to provide the bit of traction needed to hold the
eggs in place, with no danger of depositing a residue onto their surface.

Good luck,
