Inscriptions using Gutta
Percha
Meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 6 January:-
... ...
Dr. Bruce then submitted and explained a plan for taking
impressions of sculptured stones. the modus operandi,
the Rev. Dr. explained, was by placing upon the stone thin
sheet of gutta percha, upon which is placed a blanket, wrung
out of warm water, and pressed upon the gutta percha, which
very soon takes the impression of the stone, and in the most
perfect manner, even to the tool-marks.
