Abstract
A search of the conservation, resins, and adhesives literature identified twelve resins as water-white and these were obtained for evaluation. Of these, four were in fact highly-colored when cured and unsuitable for use in the conservation of glass. Experimental work was carried out on the eight remaining products -- four epoxy resins and four polyester resins. Color stability on exposure to heat and light, reversibility, shrinkage, gap filling, and adhesive properties were investigated. The most suitable resin for gap filling was found to be Vosschemie polyester resin and the most suitable adhesive was Ablebond 342-1.
