<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Many materials that are known to deteriorate over time are still commonly used in collections. These include Elmer's glue, Duco cement, nail polish, Wite-out, Scotch tape, adhesive labels, acidic papers, Sharpies
and Bic pens. Participants in this workshop will experience how easy it is to use long-lasting archival materials instead, including Paraloid B-72, India ink, archival disposable pens, titanium white acrylic paint, acid-free paper, Japanese paper, Ethafoam,
Tyvek and polyester batting.<br>
<br>
This three-hour workshop begins with brief instructions after which participants work at their own pace with their own kit of materials. Each participant has a broken mini flowerpot "specimen" to 1) mend with an archival adhesive (Paraloid B-72), 2) label using
six different archival methods and 3) house in a labeled, archival "cavity" mount. There is a group discussion at the end. The instructor also demonstrates easy ways to mix, dispense and work with Paraloid B-72. Participants take home their kit along with
their completed "specimen", written instructions, recipes, a supplier list, a small library of PDF references and a Certificate of Completion.<br>
<br>
Kit contents include two solutions of Paraloid B-72 in dispensers, archival white paint, a quill pen, archival papers, archival housing materials and samples of facing and backing materials.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Comments from past workshops: <br>
<br>
"I have never used Paraloid before...I really like the ease of use and clean-up- I will absolutely be using this now at my museum.”<br>
<br>
“...it is one thing to just talk about materials and methods, but to actually use them and experience them was fantastic.”<br>
<br>
“I liked being able to try out and discuss different labeling methods.”<br>
<br>
“The cradle instructions were very useful and will be implemented for my institution’s collections in the future.”<br>
<br>
“so many great ideas, loved the practice time, good demos, clear descriptions”<br>
<br>
“lots of good suggestions from classmates”</p>
