The following statements in the section on Conservation of specimens should be revised for accuracy. --RachaelArenstein (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2015 (CET)

  • polyvinyl butyrals(PVB), which are acetone or ethyl alcohol-soluble and include Butvar and the similar Arcryloid B72 [Acryloid B72 is an acrylic resin but not a PVB--RachaelArenstein (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2015 (CET)]
  • polyvinyl acetates (PVA), which generally are water-soluble and include Elmer’s glue, Vinac, and Jade R [Vinac is a PVAC but Elmer's and Jade are emulsions or dispersions - a different category of adhesive. These may be water-based but after setting are not always water-soluble--RachaelArenstein (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2015 (CET)].
