Hello,

I'm looking for information about which hot-melt products would be appropriate to use in an enclosed storage case (Viking Metal cabinets). No hot melt in direct contact with objects, just used in the construction of custom boxes. I've been using Bostick Thermogrip 6363 (purchased from Gaylord) but if there's a cheaper alternative -- I'd be grateful to know your recommendations. Any ideas on how to make our supply budget stretch are much appreciated.

Colleagues have shared the AIC Oddy Test results (http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Oddy_Test_Results:_Exhibition_Adhesives_and_Tapes) that lists 3M Jet Melt 3792G as passing, but I can't seem to find that formulation to purchase anywhere. 

Thanks in advance,
Catherine Nichols
