Dear all I remember a nest we treated when I worked at the Natural History Museum We used an atomizer to provide a light misting of a synthetic polymer in a solvent, just to seal the loose fragments. As a conservator, my first thought is – why does it need treating and will improved storage be sufficient? Adie
