Beau, 

You can use a water-based polyurethane sealant but ensure that you leave
plenty of time, at least three weeks, for it to cure.  Also, place air vents
in the plexi and put a barrier between the artifact and the latex, something
like Mylar.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Sealing wood

Hello,
I have a couple of questions.  Are there any ways of sealing new wood so
that none of the acid or anything gets out of it into the interior of a
case?  I was thinking of making a couple of new, small cases with some UV
blocking plexiglass.  What about a calk-like material that is archival to
go between the pieces of plexiglass?  Is there such a thing?
Also, I am part of the registrar's comittee and cannot seem to get onto
their listserv.  Does anyone here know how to do that?
Thanks.

Beau Harris.
