MUSEUM BOARD Multi ply board made of cotton rags or buffered cellulose to ensure chemical stability.

PLASTICIZER Ingredients added to paint to either make it flow or be easily redissolved.

THIXOTROPIC Referring to materials that are thick and viscous while at rest but will flow if brushed, stirred, or shaken. Resumes its viscous state when the agitation stops.
