on July 16, 2002
Stoelting bone cement #51458
Assistance provided by Ann Bodio, student technician.
Twelve live scallops were affixed to plastic
netting. The animals were out of water for about 20 minutes.
Shells were scrubbed free of algal fouling, patted dry, and
affixed to netting with the pink Stoelting cement. Two batches
of cement were mixed up and the first 8 scallops were attached
and then the 4 remaining scallops were attached with a second
batch of Stoelting cement. The adhesive was allowed to dry
for 15 minutes in air on the bench top. Then the scallops
were placed in the tank of running seawater.
