An Arizona "Mineral Company" uses the words "mineral
and specimen tack" to advertise their adhesive product.

Well, I can second Martin Buckleboo's urgent plea not to use
this stuff to hold and display your meteorites safely. It does
leave dark, ugly stains on cut meteorite surfaces and on your
meteorite crusts.

I quit using these adhesives many years ago but the greasy
stains are still there :-(

Best wishes,
