Collection of Seeds
Because i have a problem with my left foot which makes me house bound a friend has kindly sent me a big box of goodies which included a big selection of seeds which i have now mounted. 186 in total. There is also a small selection of Fibres. I am now going to mount a number of miscellaneous sample followed by a large number of hairs.

Re: Collection of Seeds
Sorry to hear about your left foot
Please share some images from those slides. They look quite impressive.

Re: Collection of Seeds
Right guys the preparation of these slides.
Clean slide and if using a ring then this is fitted with a quick dry glue, (Locktite super glue)
Once dry and solid then with a paint brush apply Gum Tragacapth (this dries clear.)
Then add your seeds and display them accordingly.
Then when all is dry a quick sweep over with hair spray, this gives it a silicone seal.
Finally apply your labels with the info of contents and apply the cover slip on top of the collar, therefore sealing the contents.
I have picked out 5 slides at random.
I'll come back with the photos as at the moment they are too large.
