Ellen-
I'm curious how long have you been putting these pieces of paper in the
B-72. Does it last in the long term? I'm asking because at a previous site
that I worked at, we have hundreds of thousands of objects done this way
back in the 1950-1960s (but not with B-72 rather shellac) and most were
loosing or had lost their object labels (peeled or just fallen off) making
for a huge mess.
Thanks
Tracie Evans
