I use museum putty every day with no problems.  When it gets a little
discolored I replace it.

Subject: [CONCH-L] photography mounting

I am wondering about the best way to hold small shells in place for
macro photography. Adhesive putty seems like an ideal choice, but I'm
not sure if this would leave a residue on shells. What are your
thoughts?
