£29.99

Take all the hassle out of mixing up your own Paraloid™ solutions at home. Paraloid B-72 premixed in acetone available small, 150ml sized bottles. These are perfect for home and hobby users. No additives, no nasties, just straight up Paraloid in Acetone ready to use out of the bottle.

These are the most commonly used concentrations in palaeontology and fossil preparation for consolidation. In the bundle:

  • 3% wt/vol Paraloid B72 premixed in Acetone (150ml)
  • 5% wt/vol Paraloid B72 premixed in Acetone (150ml)
  • Pure Acetone (100ml)
  • 3x Solvent resistant brushes (Extra fine, 1/2", 3/8")

In fossil preparation, we use very thin solutions of Paraloid B-72 to consolidate or impregnate rocks and fossils, essentially turning them to plastic. Repeat applications of 2-5% wt/vol solutions in acetone are frequently used to consolidate, followed by a 5-10% wt/vol solution to seal the surface. A 10% solution can also act as a removable varnish.
