I have thousands of tubes and nozzles for B-72. Please contact me directly: [email protected] Stephen Koob ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 2/27/2025 4:34:00 AM From: Caroline Oliver Subject: Nozzle for Paraloid tubes Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had a UK source of nozzles that would fit on a small paint tube? I'm making my own Paraloid B72 adhesive (thanks to Stephen Koob's instructions) and have aluminium tubes with a 7mm diameter opening. However I would like to have an applicator type nozzle on it (like the HMG tubes) to make it easier to use on site, but can't seem to find any.

Can I check that they don't get blocked, or the Paraloid dries up? I think I've been veering towards the tubes as they don't let any air in.

They can be refilled many times, easily cleaned and you have a choice of volumes and nozzle sizes. You can find them on ebay or art stores like https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/assorted-needle-tip-applicator-bottles-3-pack-/6639091000.html?glCountry=GB&store=135&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2oW-BhC2ARIsADSIAWpboq7OmHLaUkfKZRVKZb-SK7VaEyJkUQ7W8UYe-WZGmDjUHY-WX30aAvZtEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds <https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/assorted-needle-tip-applicator-bottles-3-pack-/6639091000.html?glCountry=GB&store=135&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2oW-BhC2ARIsADSIAWpboq7OmHLaUkfKZRVKZb-SK7VaEyJkUQ7W8UYe-WZGmDjUHY-WX30aAvZtEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds> ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 2/27/2025 4:34:00 AM From: Caroline Oliver Subject: Nozzle for Paraloid tubes Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had a UK source of nozzles that would fit on a small paint tube?

Climate change has significantly affected glaciers and ice patches, causing more frequent or extraordinary melting events. This has led to the exposure of finds that show human activity and cultural traditions have been taking place at high altitudes over many centuries and given rise to the specialised discipline of glacial archaeology. Recognising the importance these frozen landscapes are to societies past and present, the United Nations General Assembly has also declared 2025 as the International Year of Glacier Preservation. The Working Group would like to use this occasion to highlight the contributions conservators are making in glacial archaeology and are delighted to have the following colleagues share their expertise: *Margrethe Felter, Archaeological Conservator at the Museum of Cultural History at the University of Oslo, will present "Conservation of ice patch finds at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo"*Johanna Klgl, Senior Objects Conservator at the Department of Archaeological Conservation at the Archaeological Service of the Canton of Bern and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Materiality in Art and Culture at Bern University of the Arts, will present "Archaeological Alpine Ice Patch Discoveries: From Lifting to Preservation, with a Special Focus on (Tree) Bast Objects"*Valery Monahan, Conservator, Heritage Unit, Government of Yukon, will present "Conserving Yukon Ice Patch Finds: Care and Analysis"The webinar is free of charge and open to all.

Swartzburg Memorial Lecture Title: Keeping it Cool: Recovering a Large Garment and Textile Collection at a Small Community Museum Speaker: Binh-An Nguyen April 8, 2025, 7pm via Zoom. Register at https://monmouth.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcuceCorjsrHte41RnGbXiWVXcK7Vp2Qwc7 Abstract: The Hopewell Museum, located in the village of Hopewell, New Jersey, was established to preserve and display artifacts that "serve as an expression of village life in New Jersey and tell the story of Hopewell-area history from its pre-colonial beginnings to the present” (https://thehopewellmuseum.org/the-museum-and-its-mission). The Museum's collection is comprised of a wide range of materials, including a large and significant collection of 18th to 20th century garments and textiles. As part of the Museum's Reimagination project to celebrate its 100-year anniversary, the Museum will be renovating its building, which requires relocation of its entire collection to off-site storage. Over the last few years, the Museum's Board and volunteers have catalogued and packed the artifacts, art, and furniture collection for relocation. However, the garments and textiles were found to be infested and required specialized treatment. Under the guidance of a preventive conservator, a team of interns led by a graduate student from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC), processed the collection: each piece was examined and documented; packaged for disinfestation by freezing; frozen; reexamined and cleaned after treatment; and rehoused for off-site storage. Once the museum renovation is complete, the garment and textile collections will be available for future research and exhibition to showcase fashion history within New Jersey and the local community. Bio: Binh-An Nguyen is a graduate fellow of the Winterthur Museum and University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC) where she specializes in preventive conservation.
