<DIV>Hi Sue,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I used to line eggs that might be handled with paraffin wax. Just
pour molten wax into the shell through the 'blowhole', put a thumb over the hole
and gently turn the egg to spread the molten wax before it sets. This
would substantially lengthen the lives of eggshells that were handled.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Eggs
are among the most fragile of all natural and cultural history objects, and
present one of the greatest challenges for public interaction and storage in a
hands-on collection. The solution that Thomas provides is a good one; I
would however always have actual egg specimens in some protected hard-plastic
or glass-topped container, with foam and batting cushions and lined with Tyvek
to provide cradles for the eggs. The full-view boxes that are made of
Mylar or other flexible plastics often do not provide enough protection from
curious fingers. The one exception for actual eggs may be ostrich or emu
eggs, but you probably should count on replacing even these every two years on
average. Unless you have a ready supply of eggs ready to go in your
pipeline, and can replace every 2-24 months, I would recommend purchasing some
wooden replicas for the hands-on portion. There are several nature
companies that you can look up on the internet who provide
such.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

the past I'd get fresh quail (Coturnix) eggs from a nearby lab and have
students learn to drill a single hole and using a pipette blow the contents
from the egg. Last thing I'd have them do is crush one of their eggs
with their fingers so they would have the tactile memory of how little
pressure it takes to ruin all their hard work. Those students were
always much more careful in handling eggs and in general more respectful of
other specimens. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I have a couple
questions regarding fluid storage. We are in the process of working on a grant
to, among other things, rescue our 3,000-jar fluid collection from an awful,
inaccessible storage situation to a new workable facility. Can someone
recommend a supplier for good quality jars and closures? Is Kols
Containers/O’Berk still in business? We purchased supplies from them years ago
but their web site seems to be shut down.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Also, how have
museums reconciled storage of large amounts of ethyl alcohol with local fire
codes? Apparently we can only store 120 gallons of 70% ETOH per ROOM, but our
collection is approximately 2,000 gallons! Thanks in advance for your
advice and information.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
