Message: Hi Tara, When you say none of the LM temperature adhesives pass, are you including 3M 3792 LM? Is there more recent literature that shows this or have you conducted tests yourselves? I'm intrigued as this is the adhesive I've used for years and was under the impression it is considered suitable for most applications. If we get some time (a rare and precious commodity in our museum), I'll try and organise in house testing.

Dear Colleagues- What are conservators using nowadays to adhere ethafoam to corrugate board that is safe for permanent storage? All of the hot low temp melt adhesives do not pass Oddy and I am looking for something that can be used outside of a lab setting easily. I can use PVA if I need to, but was hoping for other solutions. Thanks so much for your suggestions and recommendations in advance, Tara ------------------------------ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tara D.
