<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 f�r 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>
