I have seen it used around copper pipes with no apparent problems. Never seen it used on silver. All types of Silicon products also give off substances in the form of a gass during curing. Some take days to complete. Quote: I guarantee it, I remember a kid in my kindergarten class who would eat that stuff all the time Unfortunately a guarantee is useless unless backed by something in writting. A digestive system usually mixes with other substances and then passes them all off. Applying that same substance in the facinity of a coin, it just sits there. Again, it should be noted more specifically just what is ment by "around coins". Could mean in the same building, same room, same safe or even poured onto a coin. For example I tape all my 2x2's closed with 3M tape. I first contacted the manufacturer as to the disposition of gasses given off during the curing processs of that tape prior to it's usage.

desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 10:49 am For the purpose stated, check the scrapbook aisle at Michaels, or any similar art store. A glue that states archival acid-free would be a good purpose. It would be at least as safe as the original manufacturer's glue. here is one available from Amazo. http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Acid-...ob_e_title_1 Jim Report this Post to the Staff

erkle Pillar of the Community 1119 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 7:20 pm buried a bright shiny 20c in silicone once, after about a week of being kicked around the shed floor it finally fell out, it had a dull grey appearance to it. tarzans grip was used to glue wounds together, maybe it could be safe?

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 10:27 pm I have Numis flips which are glue variety (you dont staple them you just peel the label and seal them) I wondered whether this could hurt the coins but figured a company like numis would probably know what it is doing. You could maybe contact them and ask what glue they use and if it is safe...if so use that type of glue! Report this Post to the Staff
