Acryloid B72 is the prefered matetial by conservators. You can get
pellets of the stuff from Conservation Materials, Ltd. of Sparks Nevada.
It can be desolved in Acetone and xylene. I use Acetone. About 40-50 %
mixture for glue. 10 % for a nail polish substitute. I find that using a
10% solution on corse porose ceramics to prepare the surface before
applying the glue works well. It does not yellow. You can make the glue
as thin or thick as you like. It appears to remain easily reversable.
Conservation Materials had and probably still has a website that you can
order from. I have not had to check it for some time.
