			I'd be interested in the "archivally stable acrylic resin adhesive". I assume that, as in most modern archival preparations, it is reversible without damage.

 I have used a couple of these in the past with good success. The many versions of Araldite shown in this list I suspect are not so readily available thru hardware outlets but the "handyman" version is. It comes in two versions here in NZ....a quick set (20min) and a 24hr version. From my experience, the quick dry is not as good or as strong as the 24hr, which will even hold broken gunstocks which are well impregnated with old oil! It will of course glue almost anything else as well. PVA is of course the mainstay for wood, and also useful for resticking such things as leather and other fabrics which has come away from scabbards etc. I have also used in the past a product called Selleys Knead It. Its a Polymer putty system which cures absolutely rock hard and can be filed and shaped to suit what you want. I suppose one could call it a "plastic steel". Available from larger DIY stores. Stu  |
