Soluvar picture varnish, gloss or matte, is also an acrylic
(B-67) in the same non-crosslinking class as B-72. It is soluble
in VM&P Naphtha with a touch of xylene or toluene. Point being…
B-72 could be used as the base and Soluvar (B-67) as the top
coat. The Soluvar should not disrupt the B-72, or the carbon ink
sitting on it.
Soluvar is available in small bottles from most art stores and
many online art materials catalogs.

Hi Amanda:
I used a caligraphy pen and India ink at my last place of
employment. As someone mentioned before, if your second layer is
mixed correctly you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck!

Hi Amanda - The problem might be with your top coat, not the
pen. Sometimes if there's too much solvent in the solution the
top coat will erase the ink rather than covering it. I had this
problem with top coat I bought from University Products a few
years ago. The stuff I bought from the Northern States
Conservation Center works well though. I've been told you can
mix your own base and top coats too (although I haven't tried it
myself).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] 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
