A rapid method of sample preparation for ferromanganese nodules and crusts mounting is presented here, by using laminated polyester resin, cobalt napthanate and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. With this technique vacuum impregnation is not required. Any naturally soft and brittle material can be successfully mounted by this procedure.
