I would be careful in any decision not to adhere the objects. Our
insurance specifically states that "adequate installation measures" must
be in place in order for the policy to pay. This has been interpreted as
needs putty, a mount etc...

My two cents!

You may not even need to adhere the objects to your case, unless your
museum is particularly earthquake prone. Perhaps you can put a thin
layer of padding such as Volara underneath the case fabric?

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Raku pottery and adhesive putty


We have been putting on art shows for a significant period of time here
at our museum but have just recently begun to have several artists who
are entering raku pottery.  Up to this point we have been using
exhibitors putty to help secure three dimensional ceramics and glass in
our display tureens.  
However, with the Rakku we've noticed that even the exhibitors' putty
has left a residue in the pourous material.  Is there any other product
that exists that is specifically designed for such fragile surfaces?
