Ok...this question is probably for all the conservators out there, or anyone
who knows. I need to get the recipe to make some B-72 to label objects. I
know I can order the little pellets from one of the archival companies. But
I need to know the correct ratios and where I might get some of the white
pigment. Is acetone better than toluene? Or, if anyone knows of a cheaper
place to get the paraloid pellets I would be quite happy to save some money.
Thank you!!
