We use two weights of B-72: a lighter/thinner application for the bottom
coat and a thicker (less acetone) for the top coat. If you let the B-72 dry
and then the ink dry for up to 3 hours, it will work. We've decided that it
is the acetone that dissolves the ink. Also you need to use one stroke of
b-72 for top coating not repeated swipes.
Hope this helps.

---
This course is for managers who have been assigned to manage a document
imaging system, and must start immediately, but can spend three days to
study the subject and its background. This course is designed to assist
managers to be more effective in bringing the immediate and long term
benefits of document imaging and document management to their =
organizations and to their organizations' clients, customers, and
constituents. = Students will gain an understanding of how document imaging
can be used and = managed in both small and large-scale organizations.
Document imaging is the process of taking documents out of file cabinets,
and off shelves, and storing them in a computer. This course provides an
understanding of = the details that there is often no time to review in the
rush to implement a system. The course content is intended to be useful to
students in = their professional work for twenty years into the future and
is also intended = to be useful for planning to preserve digital documents
forever. The = course may be too broad for those students seeking to learn
a specific software application. Students will learn about the technology
of scanning, importing, transmitting, organizing, indexing, storing,
protecting, searching, retrieving, viewing, printing, preserving, and
authenticating documents for document imaging systems, and archives. Image
and = document formats, metadata, XML (eXtensible Markup Language),
multimedia, rich = text, PDF (Portable Document Format), GIS (Geographic
Information Systems), = CAD (Computer Aided Design), VR (Virtual Reality)
and GPS (Global = Positioning
System) indices, image enabled databases, data visualization, finite =
element analysis models, animations, molecular models, RAM (Random Access =
Memory)
based SQL (Structured Query Language) databases, knowledge management, =
data warehousing, records inventories, retention schedules, black and white,
grayscale, and color scanning, OCR (Optical Character Recognition),
multispectral imaging, audio and video digitizing, destructive (lossy) = and
non-destructive (lossless) compression, digital signatures and seals,
encryption, the three components of vision: resolution, color, and = motion,
the imaging technology of continuous tone, halftoning, dithering, and
pixels, RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) fault tolerance, = ECCs
(Error Correcting Codes for RAID, CD, and DVD), and mirrored site = disaster
planning will be discussed. System design issues in hardware, software,
networking, ergonomics, and workflow will be covered. Emerging =
technologies such as the DVD Digital Video Disc, HDTV (High Definition TV),
and very = high speed Internet, intranet, and extranet links, Internet
protocol stacks, = and Internet 2 will be presented. The course will
include the DVD's role in completing the convergence of the PC and
television, the convergence of telephony, cable, and the Internet, the
merging of home and office, the merging of business and entertainment, and
the management of the = resulting document types. Can everything be
digitized? The course follows Shakespeare through being (or not to be),
love, wisdom, knowledge, information, data, bits, and discernable
differences (optical disc = pits). Many professionals including records
managers, librarians, and = archivists work with document management issues
every day. While not limited to = these professionals, this course builds
on the broad range of tools and = techniques that exist in these
professions. The class content is designed so that students can benefit from
each part of the class without fully = understanding every technical detail
presented. This course is designed for = non-technical professionals.
Several system designs will be done based on system requirements provided by
the students. System designs are done to = provide an understanding of the
design process, not to provide guaranteed = solutions to specific problems.
There is no hands-on use of scanning equipment. = The course is designed to
improve the ability of non-technical managers to participate in, and to
direct, technical discussions. Instructional techniques include
storytelling, iconic objects, and videos. There will = be a visit to a
working records center and archive. Interaction between students is
considered an important part of the learning experience.
The course covers a wide variety of materials and provides a foundation =
for understanding the many types of document management. However, some =
people might find the materials presented too broad for their purposes. If,
in = the course materials, you find a single area of great interest to you,
but = you have no interest in the other topics, it might be better if you
included just a portion of the class in a self-study plan. Because the =
technology continues to evolve rapidly, and the spread of technology is also
= occurring rapidly, the course continues to evolve and is different each
time it is taught.

System Architect), CRM (Certified Records Manager), California Adult
Education teaching credential, Sr. Systems Engineer, 20 years of =

David and Amanda-
I'm glad we're all discussing B-72 because my staff has been having some
problems also. We, too, just purchased it from Univ. Products and have
found that after letting it dry for 24 hours the pigma pen ink still spreads
when applied and doesn't seem to dry well. We haven't dared to apply a top
coat at this point. Is this a problem with the ink, the B-72, or the
objects we're cataloging? We're applying numbers to flatware and are having
trouble with some pieces more than others. Does B-72 and pigma ink react
differently to different types of metals?

Subject: B-72 problem
Hi,
I bought Pigma Micron pens from University Products, and had trouble with
the B-72 wiping away my numbers, after what I thought was a reasonable
drying time. Someone told me that pigment pens don't adhere to the B-72 (or
acrylic in general) - sorry that I don't remember the source. I haven't
found a solution, but sidestepped the issue by printing the numbers on paper
then adhering the paper to the object. I learned about it on this list, you
can check the archives for more information.
I believe the B-72 is meant to be very thin, for numbering purposes. You
can use it as an adhesive when it's thicker. Has anyone else heard this?
(I also have the problem of the acetone evaporating over time, even when I
thought the bottle was tightly sealed, but the B-72 can easily be
reconstituted with more acetone.)

Subject: Re: B-72 problem
Wow, we have had the same problem with smearing ink. When we asked UP about
it they said they had never heard of anyone else having that problem.
We use Sakura Pigma Micron 05 and Koh-I-Noor rapidograph pen with ultradraw
ink. We releazied that the rapidograph ink is "waterproof for paper" so we
thought that might be some of the problem.
It is not uncommon for us to let the bottom coat of B-72 dry for 24+ hours
then let the ink dry for 24+ hours and still have problems with the top coat
smearing the ink. And there just seem to be so many possible factors
(humidity, thickness of the B-72, thickness of the ink) that most of the
time we feel the only option is to cross our fingers and hope for the best.
As far as using the B-72 for an adhesive, we have recently done this with a
lamp globe that we will have on exhibit for about a year. You literally
can't tell where it has been "glued" back together. We did a test spot on
it before the exhibit opened to make sure that it would not mmiss up the
tinting on the glass and it came off easily with acetone (which also did not
mess up the glass) and it is a very strong bond as well.

David,
I would personally stick with the long one. You never know when one of those
things that does not apply to you will. Besides it is just easier to go with
the one that is already written.

Subject: Re: B-72 problem
When I managed a museum conservation lab we always removed numbers,
performed our treatments, and then applied new numbers. I used a 10% B-72 in
acetone base coat - let it cure for an hour (the curing time depends on
temperature, Relative humidity, and air circulation) and applied the number
with artists watercolor paint. We used white paint for darker obje3cts and
red paint or black for light objects. The water-based paints had the
advantage of not smearing after drying and being eminently reversible. I
have also seen objects scratched because someone using a pen and pushed the
nib down too hard when applying a number.
You should use a water soluable ink or paint for your numbering on a B-72
base coat. Then the smearing issue will disappear.
Cheers!

Subject: B-72 - a possible alternative
You may want to try soluvar. It is a non-yellowing varnish most often used
by artists. I was looking for clear medium for marking artifacts when our
source (Light Impressions) dried up. I talked with a collegue who is the
registrar at the Maryland Historical Society and she suggested I try what
they use which is soluvar. She has been using longer than I have and said
that it doesn't yellow or peel. They have even gone so far as to experiment
with printing numbers in very small font on a laser printer (you can't do it
with ink jet because the ink runs)cutting them out and applying them between
two layers of soluvar. I've not tried this, but I have found that it does
work with pigma pens. Soluvar is available at artist supply stores. I
ordered a can from Talas, a conservation supply company and it will last me
for many years to come.

ok so I think it's time to chime in. We use something called B-67. Its
base is Naptha not acetone. It comes in a small bottle that has a
nailpolish-type brush and you don't need to use alot of it. It's great on
metal (acetone can erode metal over time) and can be used on the same things
as B-72. The only issue....it doesn't come in white. We use ink when we
need white numbers.

Subject: Alternative to Tygon Tubing?
Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for an alternative to Tygon tubing. I have used this
tubing to pad wire mounts for artifacts for quite some time. Its properties
of flexibility, "cushiness" and grip make it ideal for this purpose.
However, I have come to find out that it is composed of PVC, which is a
material to be avoided from a preventive conservation standpoint.
Polyethylene and polypropylene tubing exists but it is much too rigid for
this purpose. Cole-Parmer has suggested vinyl or silicone tubing as an
alternative. Does anyone know if these are safe alternatives? I thought
vinyl was PVC (poly-vinyl chloride). Are there safe vinyls? Thanks in
advance for any information you might have. Sincerely, David Ryan Registrar

Aug. 14 & 15, 2004
Properly fitted and maintained, nuts and bolts work in
unison to hold parts together, allowing machinery to
operate efficiently. If only museum theatre programs
worked so smoothly! They may need a tune-up, or a
complete overhaul. To begin the process of
re-evaluation and repair, we need to get back to the
basics of museum theatre.
Theatrical to Practical: The Nuts and Bolts of Museum
Theatre has been developed to address the need to get
back to basics. This regional conference will be
highly interactive, lively and dynamic, and attendees
are encouraged to actively participate in the
discussions. Every effort will be given to dealing
with your specific problems, with designated time for
sharing "shop stories."

Subject: Re: Alternative to Tygon Tubing?
Hi David,
Polyolefin or teflon tubing are used for professional mountmaking in many
museums. You can get them though Benchmark at benchmarkcatalog.com under
the "padding" section. In fact, you might think about looking further into
their catalog, since they specialize in excellent mountmaking supplies, and
they are friendly and helpful to boot. I think I saw University Products
peddling the polyolefin tubing at a recent conference as well. Yes, vinyl
is not a good thing to use long-term. Since it is easy to buy at the local
hardware store, in a pinch I will sometimes use it for a short term exhibit
(a month or so) depending on the vulnerability of the artifacts. Polyolefin
tubing is heat-shrinkable and you can paint it with acrylic paints to match
the item. You don't have to heat shrink it and if you do paint it, you
should give it ample time for the paint to cure (two weeks is ideal.) If you
want to test your tubing to see if it is "bad," run some sandpaper over a
piece of copper wire to remove any coating, heat it up with a lighter, melt
some of the tubing onto the wire, and put it back over the flame. If the
flame turns green, your tubing contains chlorides and is not suitable. This
is called the "Beilstein test for chlorides." Good luck! Ellen Carrlee

collecting of statements -- when the revised AAM Code came out. Also try
AASLH since they specialize in history museums and societies.

Does anyone have a short Code of Ethics I can borrow? AAM has a long one,
with many things that don't apply to us. I am looking for one that is
shorter, and would apply to an historical museum.
Thank you
David

Milly Walker before she retired would always remind us to use India Ink and
pen. The solvent in the pigma pen is the same solvent or close enough to the
solvent in the B-72 that you are redissolving the layer. The top coat will
then smear the ink. Sorry, I love the pigma pens too.

Subject: Re: another B-72 problem
Hi,
I just wanted to respond to the statement made today in this thread that, "
acetone can erode metal over time."
As an objects conservator who specialized in metals and arms for over 11
years I have not encountered any empirical of scientific evidence or
literature that supports that statement. Acetone in an organic solvent
widely used in conservation and in industrial cleaning with numerous
applications in metals. I have not read of any significant ionic interaction
with metals nor of residue problems with acetone - since it is one of the
more volatile solvents that we use (meaning almost all of it evaporates into
the air). Metal erosion occurs when metals are exposed to a stream or flow
of a liquid that strips metal ions and can cause significant metal loss -
metal plumbing in old houses is a good example or the use of certain
industrial acids or caustics can cause this in factories and pipelines.
Since B-72 is a metacrylate copolymer that is dissolved in a solvent such as
acetone, once the acetone quickly volatilizes and the resin hardens there
are only slight trace amounts of acetone left and they are bound up in the
resin - and they hardly constitute a stream or flow of liquid.
Most of the chemical damages that I have witnessed on metals in collections
come from exposure to sulfur compounds (e.g., silverware bound together with
rubber bands), or chloride compounds (e.g., metals stored with PVC
plastics), old polish residues, and my personal favorite - the human
fingerprints etched into the metal surfaces.
So I think I can safely go out on a limb here to state that I would heartily
recommend that you can safely use your B-72 on metals with no worry that you
are eroding it.
Cheers!
