But we have to be very careful in selecting those materials and methods as well because sometimes just the coating alone can do more damage to historic fabric than not having it. So, we have to be looking at other strategies besides what i call it, what glue do i use. We have to be looking at strategies more on the prevention end.

Them and we made sure that if there were that they knew if there was anything out there, somebody watching them or a gang area, a gang tag, we didnt want them dealing with that.
