[NHCOLL-L:1931] Re: gasketing for herbarium cabinets

[Linda Rader]

We also have a few herbarium cases with deteriorating gaskets (both felt 
and foam). Complicating the replacement issue is the variation in design of 
the cases.  They were made by at least 4 different companies and, although 
most are by Lane, even these are not all of the same era.  I know we will 
need gaskets of varying thickness or type to get the correct seal on each 
case.  Has anyone had any luck solving this dilemma?
