Sold in 2 and 4 in. planks, Ethafoam is a strong, resilient, medium-density, closed-cell, white polyethylene foam used to preserve and transport historic objects. Hot glue is a form of thermoplastic adhesive that is commonly sold as solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters that is used for affixing or as an inexpensive alternative to resin casting. MDF (medium-density fiberboard) is an engineered wood product made by breaking wood down into wood fiber, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. Polyethylene sheeting is a thin plastic membrane used to separate areas or volumes, hold items, or act as barriers or as printable surfaces; thinner plastic material is called a film. T-pins have a head bent into a capital letter T so it can be easily grabbed by one's finger tips. Linen tape (duct tape) is cloth- or scrim-backed and pressure-sensitive, often coated with polyethylene. Come-alongs are hand-operated winches with a ratchet used to pull objects. A-frames are 2 similarly-sized beams, arranged in an angle of 45 degrees or less, which are attached at the top, designed to bear a load in a lightweight, economical manner. Folding tables have legs that fold up against the table top for improved portability. Furniture blankets are used to cover furniture to prevent nicks and scratches during a move.
