Adhesives for bone

This is in response to Julie Eklund's inquiry on what adhesives to use for
bone.

I recommend using Acryloid B-72 adhesive.  Bones should be clean and
dry; fragile or friable bone should be consolidated before any
attempts at joining are done.  I also suggest untreated bone samples
be put aside for analytical studies.
