Sorry, I should have been more specific.  I wasn't referring to whiteout.
I've also seen whiteout pop-off specimens.  Nail polish, too, for that
matter.  No, whiteout and nail polish are totally inappropriate.
 
I was referring to other materials.  For example, B-72 has been
recommended as a replacement for nail polish (in one of the few even-tempered
responses in this debate).  How was B-72 chosen? What tests were performed to
determine that it was an appropriate material?  Or, was it chosen because it
looked like it might work?
 
That is what I'm getting at.  Who tests materials for the purposes of
curation? How are the tests performed?  Where is that information published?
Those are the questions for which I'd like some answers.  My colleagues and I
would appreciate any information available.  Thanks.
