Anne & Claudia:
Thanks for the tip re: acrylic gloss varnish as a top coat. What solvent
do each of you use to remove the acrylic?

Amanda, your problem is that the top coat of B-72 is dissolving the
bottom coat. This can be solved by using a different top coat. I have
used both B-67, which is dissolved in naptha instead of acetone, and
gloss acrylic varnish, which is water-based. I also use labels
laser-printed onto acid-free paper, which are less likely to come
unglued when you put on the top coat.
Hope this is helpful to you -
Anne

Subject: numbering in pencil?
Hello All:
I'm having trouble finding an archival black pen that won't smear when a
top coat of clear B-72 is applied when numbering an artifact. Can anyone
give any reasons why I shouldn't use a pencil to apply the number
between the barrier layers?
Thanks,
Amanda
