Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a historical glass jar storing a nemertine worm whose lid has cracked and is no longer forming a seal. Because the worm is prepared so uniquely and the jar is so tall (41.5 cm tall), the likelihood of finding a replacement is pretty low unless
we invest in a custom made jar (which is unlikely since it’s a teaching specimen).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone know if there is a glue/epoxy that we could use to stabilize the cracks in the jar lid that won’t react with the ethanol preservative? Further, I’m not sure if there is a glue that won’t expand too much that it will further compromise the seal
while we look for a more permanent solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for any insight you might have (picture of lid below).</div>
<div><br>
