Hi Mike, All,
Sorry that email got away too soon, It is Cow Gum, not Cow Goo after
reading my link to wiki, I wanted to add, that the solvent in rubber
cement might not be the best thing to expose your meteorite to, but
this stuff called mineral tack (only the white one is considered inert
for mounting specimens). I haven't tried it but I'd try it if I had an
opportunity. Why don't you give it a try and if possible let us know
what you think, this looks like the good stuff for $ for 25g and $11
for 100g. To remove it make a tiny ball and blot off the pieces that
remain behind in the lower parts of an irregular surface and it omes
clean. It is a specialized putty.
Item: 360120441273

Best wishes, and Happy New Year Doug

Hi Mike,
Sound liike the rubber cement we used in kindergarten. Doesn't
penetrate so you can peel it off most applications. According to Wiki,
it was marketed in England as Cow goo, but is generally as uncommon20in
Europe as it is ubiquitous in the USA, probably to prevent kids from
sniffing it or due to flammability concerns in the Old World.

Best wishes,

Hi all I know this is sorta off topic but there is a glue that is used
to glue items to their packaging and it seems to hold pretty good but
all you have to do is pull the product off and the glue just lets go
and does not stick permanently. You can also rub it right off the back
side too, or right off the packaging. (It is much like rubber) It is
like it holds the product it in place firmly but doesn't really stick
to the product. I know I see it all the time but I just can't remember
the last time I saw it used. Well I do plan to use it to hold
meteorites in place so this is not 100% off topic. I hope this make
enough sense that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks
