[Nhcoll-l] Re-attach specimen tail

[Carson Moore]

One of our raccoon skin education specimens was mishandled and the tip of its tail was pulled out. The educator in charge of the object asked me if I knew of a way to re-attach it, and all I could think of was some sort of glue. Does this community have a glue they recommend for this type of material, or another method to re-attach it? This is used for educational programming only, and it is meant to be touched. We know damage and wear is inevitable with education collection materials but would like to extend its usage.

Thanks,
