Re: Can anyone recommend an appropriate consolidant and application method for dried plant material (looks like sphagnum moss) that makes up part of a composite artifact?...
Hi Dee, A seed and nut wreath with shedding sphagnum moss elements was treated at CCI in 2011. The moss was consolidated with a 0.5% gelatin solution applied with an ultrasonic mister. Good luck.
