[Nhcoll-l] labeling silicone

[Fox, Marilyn]

Hi, Thomas, I would recommend asking this question to the PrepList.  I would also suggest that your preparators join the list as well.  There is a wealth of good information about fossil preparation available there, plus a community of other preparators.

There is also this paper available on the same site.

Hope that helps, Marilyn

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] labeling silicone

Hi everyone,

I am working at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and our paleo preparators regularly come up with silicone molds. The new ones can be labeled by writing in the clay molds, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way of properly ‘retroactively’ labeling already existing molds?
I read about a method with Vinyl Polysiloxane, but this seems relatively labor intensive and not useless for smaller molds.

Thanks in advance
Thomas
