I refer you to Mark Goodwin, Chief Museum Scientist at the
University of California, Berkeley Museum of Paleontology.  I think
his number is still 510-643-9745.  He has been experimenting with a
number of adhesives over the years and I benefited from
conversations with him some years ago on this subject.
