<p>Hi, Thomas, I would recommend asking this question to the PrepList. I would also suggest that your preparators join the list as well. There is a wealth of good information about fossil preparation available there, plus a community of other preparators. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am working at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and our paleo preparators regularly come up with silicone molds. The new ones can be labeled by writing in the clay molds, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way
of properly ‘retroactively’ labeling already existing molds?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I read about a method with Vinyl Polysiloxane, but this seems relatively labor intensive and not useless for smaller molds.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
