I have some reproductions of Revolutionary War Period tea bricks that I
am considering putting into a "Touchable" display.  The problem that I
foresee is that these are rather friable and over, what I suspect will
be a short amount of time, they will deteriorate.  Does anyone have an
idea of a non-caustic sealant or other coating that I could apply to
reduce the rate of deterioration?  Would Rhoplex be the best choice or
is there some, more durable coating out there.  I'd like to stay away
from the acetone based adhesives like B-72 and Vinac...  Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated
