[Nhcoll-l] adhesive for skeleton articulation?

[Simon Moore]

Hi Jessa,

I use neutral pH PVA.  Providing the bones are not greasy and you're prepared to 'prop' them during adhesion, it does work well and I have not experienced any sudden detachments!  For larger bones that have some load-bearing, these would have to be suitably articulated of course.

With all good wishes, Simon

  I am looking for a recommendation for an adhesive to attach bones that have fallen off an articulated turtle skeleton.   
  Thanks!
