[NHCOLL-L:448] bird egg display

[Tamar Danufsky]

Hello,

I am putting together a small display of bird eggs.  Some of the eggs will
be in nests, others (large eggs) will be sitting in indentations on the
shelves. I am looking for a way of affixing the eggs to the surface so
that they will not roll out during an earthquake.  I was thinking of a
putty or soft rubber used to affix vases to shelves for earthquake
safety. However, I want to ensure that the adhesive substance will be
removable from the eggs, leave no residue, and that it will not have any
negative effects on the eggs while it is affixed.  Any suggestions for
adhesive substances, or alternatives to displaying eggs would be
appreciated.

Thank you,
