White glue will, eventually, with much soaking, dissolve. Unless you leave it for a decade or three, when it becomes a cross-linked mass that dissolves in neither water nor organic solvents.
Which happened in the 1970s restoration of the Archimedes Palimpsest, or rather since the 1970s, where they used white glue. http://archimedespalimpsest.org/ I was lucky enough to hear a talk by one of the restorers about taking an exacto knife to the glue on this old manuscript, among many other steps to conserve & restore it.

The instructions I had said you could rewet and reshape - that was a while ago, they might have changed the formulation since then. White glue is not waterproof. If you soak it, it softens and you can scrape it away. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
