Couldn't carbon and tree pitch stain the coral?

I understand both rosin and carbon are commonly used in adhesives for silver, but coral is porous and I wonder if this mixture would stain the coral. While white glue is reverseable (a positive trait from a conservation perspective), I wonder if it would be strong enough to hold the bands in place. Having only questions and no solutions to offer, I've asked a colleague and will let you know if I receive any recommendations.
