[Nhcoll-l] Adhesive for porous organic material

[William Shepherd]

Hello Ben,

	Since this isn't a 'collection' item you're a bit more free in what you can use and your threshold for change to the object may vary. Depending on what you have on hand an acryloid such as B-72 or B-67 would likely work. You could also use a PVA, though you might end up with some tide lines depending on the dough and the PVA consistency.

A totally non-academic question, but I suspect someone in this list would have advice: I have a broken Christmas ornament made from cookie dough. I'm afraid all of my "serious" adhesives (Butvar, cyanoacrylite) will dissolve the ornament. What's a good option for this repair?

Thanks,
Ben Scherzer
