Polyvinyl chloride

From: Mariko Kageyama <*aspeciosus*> Date: Wednesday, June 2, 2004 · aspeciosus

I am going to use a clay (Sculpey) for supporting osteological
specimens during digital photography. The manufacturer said that the
generic ingredients of clays were PVC, plasticizers, pigments and
stabilizers. Is is not a good idea to apply PVC material to bones?
