Survey on embedding material for paint samples

For a research project in my postgraduate program in Conservation of
Historic interiors at the University of Amsterdam / Stichting
Restauratieatelier Limburg, I am holding a small survey for the use
of embedding materials for paint samples. I would really appreciate
it if you can spare the time to answer my questions: What kind of
embedding material do you use/ is used in the institution where you
work?  (e.g. epoxy/ polyester/ acrylate/wax/ other)

What brand?

Why was this specific material chosen? (e.g. working time/
viscosity/ availability/ price/ other)

Where did you buy it?

What is the aging characteristics of the resin (ie does it go
yellow)?

Thank you for your collaboration in advance,
