<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When repairing this type of material I find
that a papier mache (no colour print on the paper!) mixed with PVA works well
but I would only do this type of retsorative work if the item were for display
purposes.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Greetings </DIV>

<DIV>Can anyone suggest a means to fix this cracking and splintering shark
jaw? The pictures are attached. I hope to repair and preserve these jaws
for the science center I work for.</DIV>
