[Nhcoll-l] Laminating Ethafoam

[Heidi Mead]

Hello All,

I am looking for viable options to laminate sheets of Ethafoam to create customized cradles for natural history specimens while on display. Suggestions?
Would a heat gun work? I think not, cools too fast. Is there a better way, acceptable way, to go about making specimen mounts?
My resources are very limited, but am open to any suggestions.
Also, Can anyone tell me a little more about an adhesive called "Rhoplex N-580"? I just came across the name, and am wondering if this is an accepted "best practice" adhesive for museum use.

Thank you,
