Stonebreaker Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey guys and gals! As I was splitting some shale near my home I found a what looks like a maple seed pod. The situation is that I have perfect book match of it and what looks to be a calcified pod.still can see the leaf material but the edges and the main veins seem solid.Would i glue the seed back in or keep out and just display the book matched pair of rocks? And if I keep the pod out ..how to preserve it? Thanks for any advice. (I dont have a pic atm as she-who-controls-all loaned the camera to her sister but hope to have 1 soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber cement is non-reactive and easily removed. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-dog Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Preservation,no idea.I would glue the pod back using gorilla glue with the blue cap.Sold in craft stores,easy to remove if needed.Best of the super glues.Drying time allows for some shifting.Good luck.

Gorilla glue expands which would create a gap. Go with the rubber cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
