[NHCOLL-L:2285] Re: Appropriate Crack filler

[Fothergill, Helen (LIFELONG LEARNING)]

Hi
I have used a closed-cell foam here in UK that is available in different
densities, thicknessess and colours (including black & grey)
send for a sample pack: http://www.zotefoams-usa.com/

I've used this for housing fossils as well as making packing wedges
cuts well with a new scalpel blade (tends to blunt steel edges quickly ...
then cuts are ragged)
also cuts using hot wire tool very well to give smooth and 'fluid' edges to
fit to curves
