It's really good to find out that the white glue I remember from childhood in Iowa and California is no longer what is marketed in the US. The description of the NZ product is exactly what I remember using. It dried clear. And you used it for everything. It came in a white squeeze bottle and we usually bought Elmer's. They must have changed the formulation when I wasn't looking. I've only seen the yellow "wood" glue in the last few years. Now, I'll have to remember not to buy white glue for my permanent projects.

Here white glue and wood glue are two different animals. White glue is white and transparent when dry, and it always remains somewhat water soluble (if you soak it, it softens). Wood glue is yellowish and also dries yellowish (and stiff) and is waterproof, AFAIK. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication with its contents may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
