"Loud" Smelling Visitors
Hello ACM forum!
This is a bit of an odd question, and I don't think there is a perfect answer, but how do you handle visitors who smell of marijuana? We've had people smell of alcohol in the past who were acting as if they were under the influence, but I feel as if it may be a bit different to accuse someone of being under the influence of marijuana. Personally, it doesn't offend me, but we did have guests complain about it.
Can you really do anything about it?...

Said: Hi Celine,We have tile in our museum. It's the kind of tile you'd find in a school or commercial building though, not tile with grout like you'd see in a home. It works well for us though, and is easy to keep clean. We also have a c...

Said: Hi Jasmine! In our museum we use two-part epoxy as our main adhesive for things like this — the Gorilla glue ones are my go-to. Just be sure to sand down the inside of the lid and where it is going to be attached to a bit so that the ep...

Recs for water-resistant smocks for indoor water play?
Hello all,
Looking for recommendations for water play smocks/aprons. We have used and ordered the "Colorations Brawny Tough Machine Washable Smock" from Discount School Supply in the past, but DSS and other vendors seem to be out of stock of both individual and bulk options, so I fear they are discontinued. Amazon has singles available for now ( https://www.amazon.com/Colorations-TDPS-Machine-Washable-Sleeveless/dp/B01I0E3X4M ) but I'd like a plan B.

Adhesive for grocery store toys
Hello all!
I recently visited a few children's museums in Arizona and noticed that in their grocery store exhibits they used actually bottles and cans. What adhesive do you all use for things like this? I noticed that the adhesive appeared to be almost silicone based?
So far what we've used has worked ok but we want to put items out that may have things in it and don't want to worry about them spilling items all over the place.
Thanks so much!!
