I would recommend Paraloid B-72, probably 50% w/w.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Apropriate adhesives

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what would be the appropriate adhesive for re-adhering a cast bone to its armature.  One of the claws on our Allosaurus is slipping off. Eventually we will be getting the whole mount conserved, but we do not want this claw to fall of and get damaged in the meantime. We are pretty sure that the cast is made of plaster of paris. It has a large gauge wire that runs through the center to attach it to the rest of the armature.  Any thoughts?

Lena
