Paraloid B-72 Archival Adhesive & Consolidant in Acetone – Mint State Restoration (MSR) – Available in 5%, 10%, 25% (Multiple Sizes)

Mint State Restoration™’s Paraloid™ B-72 in Acetone is a versatile archival adhesive and consolidant trusted by museums, professional conservators, and hobbyists alike. This high-quality acrylic co-polymer resin forms strong yet reversible bonds, making it ideal for repairing and preserving coins, metal detector finds, fossils, ceramics, and other collectibles without permanent damage. Each formulation is acid-free, non-yellowing, and dries crystal clear, keeping repairs invisible while protecting sensitive materials from discoloration. Mint State Restoration’s Paraloid B-72 solutions are prepared to conservation-grade standards, delivering reliable results for a wide range of projects — from coin restoration to DIY artifact preservation.

Three Formulations for Every Project:

5% Low Strength – A thin, penetrating consolidant perfect for delicate surfaces. Stabilize flaking paint, fragile pottery glazes, fossils or apply a protective coating to coins, documents, or artwork without adding gloss or weight.

10% Medium Strength – A balanced adhesive and consolidant for general repairs. Reinforce hairline cracks, secure loose paint, or repair moderate breaks in ceramics, fossils, or metal detector finds. Offers a strong yet reversible bond suitable for both hobbyists and professionals.

25% High Strength – A high-strength formula for tougher projects. Ideal for rejoining broken ceramics, glass, or performing structural repairs on coins, metal artifacts, or archaeological finds. The 25% solution is the only variant available in a bulk 5-gallon option for large-scale projects or institutional use, giving you plenty of coverage without frequent reorders.

Easy Application – All solutions come pre-mixed in acetone and are ready to use. Shake gently and apply sparingly with a brush or dropper to clean, dry surfaces. Fast-drying solvent provides initial tack in minutes and a full cure in 24–48 hours. Low-strength solutions penetrate fine cracks and porous surfaces for thorough bonding. Excess can be wiped away with acetone before curing, and tools clean easily with acetone.

Long-Lasting & Safe – Paraloid B-72 is chemically stable, slightly flexible, and non-yellowing. It won’t harm pigments, papers, or sensitive substrates, ensuring repairs endure while preserving the original look of your objects.

Convenient Sizes – Available in 2 fl oz, 4 fl oz, and 8 fl oz bottles for small to medium projects. The 25% high-strength solution is also offered in a 5-gallon bulk option for larger projects or institutional use.

Important Safety Note – Acetone-based and highly flammable. Use in a well-ventilated area, away from heat or open flames.

Whether you’re stabilizing metal detector finds, restoring coins, repairing antiques, or conserving fine art, Mint State Restoration’s Paraloid B-72 provides a reliable, reversible solution for hobbyists and professionals alike.
