PENETRANT AND STABILIZER (PB002): This is the workhorse of the Paleo-Bond family. It is a primer for other adhesives in the kit. It penetrates deep into the vascular system of a fossil bone; it fills micro cracks, strengthening the entire fossil structure. It captures punky, weak fossil material and hardens it in minutes. This will become your favorite adhesive tool!
PRE-PREP FIELD CONSOLIDENT(PB4417): In the field we often want to hold something together prior to the final laboratory preparation. We often have dirty, out of alignment fossil parts that need a light bond to preserve integrity from field to lab. PB4417 stabilizer can be air scribed or air abraded away as you are preparing the specimen for permanent restoration. Two years of field testing have given us the "go ahead" with this new product.
STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES (PB40, PB100, PB750 & PB1500): These are the high strength adhesives used when you bond your fossils back together. Each adhesive has a different thickness (viscosity/centipoises); the higher the number, the thicker the adhesive. You need a strong adhesive to make up the difference of error between the two opposing surfaces you intend to bond together.
JURASSIC GEL (PB4540): This thick, gel adhesive was designed to bridge serious gaps where you need serious strength.
ACTIVATORS (PB304 AND PB303): These are used whenever you want an instant cure or hardening of your adhesives. It allows for instant handling of your specimens. The PB304 is in an aerosol can and the PB303 is in a non-aerosol pump spray bottle.
DEBONDER (PB400): This was designed to take adhesive off your fingers. No more picking the stuff off, this just dissolves it with ease. It is water-based so it won't dry your skin out.
PALEO SCULP (PB121): This is a unique two-part epoxy material that forms a clay-like substance once mixed together. You can make any size batch needed without worrying about wasting leftover material. It has a varied cure time, so YOU are in control of the work life time. It bonds to any substrate material, so you have one multi-purpose adhesive. It has great sculpture ability, it can be sculpted into any shape or be used as a casting medium. It can be easily sanded or ground, once it is cured, and painted or stained.
PALEO POXY (PB122): This is a fast curing, epoxy putty. In just one hour, it can be drilled, sawed, sanded, filed or painted. It comes in a handy form with the curing agent encapsulated in the contrasting color base material.
SPECIALTY ADHESIVE AND FILLER(PB4418):This product was designed to be used in the case of a fossil that is of good quality but encased in a very hard matrix and having an interior of soft punky vascular bone structure. The problem being that the fossil bone couldn't survive the removal from the rock hard surrounding matrix. The filler adhesive cures slowly without any exothermic reaction so as to prevent heat cracking. The 4418 is mechanically reversible so any leaking or over fill can easily be removed with knife or air blaster. |
