My new board

I got the frame at the Goodwill for $2 thinking it would work out. I was unsure due to the color but once it was laid out I found it perfect to bring out the beauty of these stones.

I ripped out what was in the frame and set to work

The white really accents. I can't stop staring at it every time I walk into the room.

I used dabs of silicone to hold them trying not to overdo it.

Nice frame. Great job laying them out too. Real beauties grouped together very well.

In my displays, I use foam backing to press points against the case glass. This works very well for me, and so far, with no known negative effects.

The silicone seems to do a great job too, but I wonder if anyone has had any long term issues using it on artifacts?

 

[Force_of_Iron]

Im kind of reluctant to do it but Im not using silicone on any porous points or ones that have alot of uneven texture. I choose these point for this frame because I believe that I can shave them off (or someone else ) when the time comes with a razorblade or my fingernail with a little bit of effort.

Since then Ive gotten some points with Elmers glue. I read on this board that you can just soak them in water for a time and it will come right off. This is absolutely true, very easy to remove. I had no idea.

If I do another Ill probably use that now that I am a bit more educated. It cant be easier to remove than this and it bonds pretty well.
